Forecasts

Homer Fidget (15/8), Dirty Martini (13/2), El Romiachi (7/1), Purple Frontier (7/1), Fat Cigar (15/2), Wind Sock (9/1), Doppio Oro (10/1), Uncle Charlie (12/1), Cleto (12/1), Lion King (20/1), Supa Mufti (28/1), Better Days (33/1), Sh Boom (33/1)

FAT CIGAR failed to justify market expectations on his most recent run, but looks the one to be on once again. Homer Fidget may be the one for second, while Dirty Martini also requires a closer look.
