Forecasts

Profit Refused (5/6), Absolute Advantage (4/1), Glamora (15/2), Zona Verde (8/1), Megarry (20/1), Newfire (22/1), Basilah Bear (25/1), Tatum (25/1), Edvard Grieg (25/1), Naisiun (28/1), Guest Star (28/1), Dandy Sands (40/1)

PROFIT REFUSED sets the standard and is open to improvement, so she's preferred to Absolute Advantage, who also arrives on the back of an encouraging debut. Naisun is a notable newcomer.
