Forecasts

Fantine (3/1), Blackberry Breeze (3/1), Hoodwinked (10/3), Asinantanga (11/2), Mio Destino (7/1), Nightjar (7/1), Volare E Mambo (12/1), Sixtyzero (12/1), Half Moon Island (16/1), Love From Afar (20/1), Pardon Me (20/1), Johnny Drama (28/1), Dead Poets Society (40/1), Bosnay (50/1)

FANTINE has been in top form for a while so is awarded the vote in what is an open contest. Volare E Mambo is most likely the biggest danger, while Bosnay deserves respect as well.
