Forecasts

Evening Parade (3/1), Geostorm (7/2), Ready Set Fire (7/2), Time Will Tell (4/1), Gunboat (6/1), Nkandla Gold (8/1), Winter In Auckland (14/1), Stage One (16/1), Peace Treaty (20/1), Valieva (22/1), Ice Dragon (33/1), Michael Faraday (80/1)

NKANDLA GOLD is probably the best recommendation but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Time Will Tell is the pick of the remainder, while Ready Set Fire might be worth siding with for third.
