Forecasts

Hopscotch (4/7), Mattiazo (15/8), Bella Boop Boop (10/1), Flightlight (14/1), Pepper Tree (33/1), Cape Flower (33/1), Cool Reggae (33/1), Umami (40/1), Pass The Baton (40/1), Falconfly (50/1)

HOPSCOTCH gets the nod again. Mattiazo is a big challenger, while Flightlight is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
