Forecasts

Gotta Catch'em All (3/1), Alfalfa (13/2), Morse (7/1), Party Dress (15/2), Lagoon Nebula (17/2), Daboya (9/1), Paradise Lost (11/1), Make Good (12/1), El Bello (12/1), Pralognan (14/1), Scatchwah (14/1), The Mediator (22/1), Ephesus (25/1), Moonlit Mist (66/1), Queen Of Seduction (66/1)

GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL has been knocking on the door and was unfortunate not to go closer when meeting trouble at this course 6 days ago. The return to 12f with a tongue strap reapplied can see him go one better. Pralognan and Lagoon Nebula are a couple of dangers.
