Forecasts

Moon Game (15/8), Dirty Martini (5/2), Selailai (4/1), Mighty Smart (5/1), Teofilia (9/1), Lion King (10/1), Waldorf Astoria (16/1), Uncle Charlie (18/1), Sputnik One (25/1), Pega D'Oro (33/1), Better Days (40/1)

MIGHTY SMART sets a very tall standard if not foiled by this different trip. Moon Game shouldn't be too far away either, while Selailai also requires a closer look.
