Forecasts

War Of Kingdoms (11/10), Mizzen Sword (11/4), Soho Heartthrob (9/2), Tintin (15/2), Time Will Tell (11/1), Trip To States (12/1), New Life (40/1), Asian Delight (40/1), Global Zee (40/1), Beach Walker (50/1), Winters Lance (50/1), Emerald City (80/1), Beartic (100/1)

MIZZEN SWORD failed to justify market support on his most recent run, but gets the vote again. War Of Kingdoms should be involved at the business end as well, while Time Will Tell is also in the running.
