Forecasts

Cosmic Star (6/4), Stormy Seas (3/1), Covert Operator (9/2), Dark Tide (7/1), Nettleton (7/1), What A Tiger (15/2), Great Times (11/1), Fulliautomatix (18/1), Dontshootthebarman (25/1), Rio's Kiss (40/1)

COSMIC STAR is quite clearly in front of these formwise and is the one they all have to beat. Fulliautomatix can get the better of the others for second, while Covert Operator could also figure.
