Forecasts

Luna Halo (13/8), Vision Of Wonder (9/4), Golden Sickle (7/2), Joy And Peace (11/1), The Winter Lake (14/1), Summer Odyssey (22/1), Global Force (25/1)

LUNA HALO holds a sizeable advantage on the form book and can't really be ignored. Summer Odyssey has to come into the equation too, while Vision Of Wonder also seems unlikely to be far away.
