Forecasts

Kotinos (9/4), Double Olympic (10/3), One Irish Rover (7/2), Now I Got You (4/1), Cotton Ron (13/2), Indecent Proposal (7/1), Purple Powahouse (7/1), Send Me (11/1), Dancing Dora (18/1), Happy Wanderer (25/1), Priceless Pearl (40/1)

PURPLE POWAHOUSE is running well and is just about the pick in this company. Send Me could be the main opposition, while Kotinos can't be ruled out of things either.
