Forecasts

Seo Linn (8/15), Navy Waters (4/1), Spring Dance (6/1), Colpe Cross (9/1), First Ascent (16/1), Bursinel (25/1), Diesel Deans (25/1), Atheneum (40/1), Among The Pines (50/1), Rosemount (100/1), Milverton (200/1)

Useful bumper performer SEO LINN travels strongly in her races and is a intriguing recruit to the Flat. She is taken to make a successul debut in this sphere. Navy Waters and Spring Dance look the obvious dangers.
