Forecasts

Fly My Flag (15/8), Scented Garden (10/3), Sugar Gum (4/1), Mendocino (15/2), Vodka Lime (8/1), Captain Anne Bonny (8/1), Dive Captain (16/1), Miss Honey (16/1), Montreal Mist (28/1), Gimme Hope Johanna (33/1)

SUGAR GUM can give all these something to think about but has next to no margin for error. Mendocino could emerge as the main danger, while Scented Garden should go well too.
