Forecasts

Okami (1/1), Dear Daphne (2/1), Kracking (4/1), Ormolulu (12/1), Miss Willows (22/1), Roxy's Charm (80/1), Smokey Lonesome (100/1), Brother Dave (100/1), Nautical Dream (150/1), Diamond Hands (150/1)

OKAMI's sales prices increased as a 2-y-o and while he didn't race last year he's been gelded ahead of debut for his top yard and is likely to know his job. He could be the answer, with Dear Daphne a big threat if back on her game, along with Ormolulu.
