Forecasts

Yannakis (9/4), United Nation (4/1), Lou Lou The Legend (4/1), Rhythm (5/1), Catavar (6/1), Mask On (15/2), Count Marsh (9/1), Phaka Imali (14/1), Mamas Baby (14/1), Ruby Claire (18/1), Sky Velocity (33/1)

LOU LOU THE LEGEND should give backers a run for their money. Catavar is a viable alternative, while Ruby Claire also commands a second look.
