Forecasts

Arividicio (11/4), Future Of Energy (4/1), Flower Festival (9/2), Globetonic (9/2), Nikes Ray Of Light (6/1), Hospices De Beaune (7/1), Potent Captain (12/1), Hat Hot Hat (14/1), Grand Oasis (50/1)

ARIVIDICIO can end a losing run. Potent Captain is tough to ignore, while Future Of Energy is not out of it for third place.
