Forecasts

Captain Selvie (4/1), United Offer (9/2), Lost For Words (7/1), Season's Greetings (7/1), Russian Nobility (7/1), Roaming Spirit (10/1), Green Flash (10/1), Komati River (10/1), Vamanos (10/1), Mamlambo (10/1), Global Thunder (33/1), Pointer (33/1), Blizzard Snow (50/1), Hotaru (50/1)

CAPTAIN SELVIE is in decent form right now and is probably the one to beat. Russian Nobility looks second best, while Komati River can't be ruled out of things either.
