Forecasts

Artic Silver (2/1), Future Date (11/4), Dimako's Jet (7/2), Bakwena (4/1), Kissing Machine (5/1), Azaleas For All (6/1), It's Her Way (9/1), Art Nouveau (11/1), Teo Torriatte (16/1), Back From War (28/1), Ancient Wisdom (33/1)

ARTIC SILVER looks to have marginally the best credentials. Kissing Machine is tough to ignore, while Azaleas For All isn't dismissed completely.
