Forecasts

Free In Seattle (11/4), Boom Boom (3/1), Future Date (7/2), Dimako's Jet (4/1), Pretty Analia (8/1), Key Worker (10/1), Mount Etna (18/1), Wagram (20/1), Fetching Flyer (66/1)

FUTURE DATE failed to justify market support last time out, but gets the vote again. Pretty Analia likely poses the biggest threat, while Dimako's Jet is a candidate for the three.
