Forecasts

Unsolved Riddle (2/1), Viva De Janeiro (5/2), Sail The Sky (10/3), After Hours (7/1), Silent Trigger (8/1), Sneak Preview (12/1), Northern Kitten (18/1), Circle Of Grace (33/1), Arctic Vixen (40/1)

SAIL THE SKY is running well and just about gets the nod in this company. Sneak Preview should be right in the mix as well, while Silent Trigger comes into calculations for minor honours.
