Forecasts

Imilenzeyokududuma (7/4), Celestial City (3/1), Laguna Verde (8/1), Sundance Kid (8/1), Narina Trogon (17/2), Winter Games (10/1), Passage Of Power (16/1), Cyber Time (22/1), Prince Of Taranto (28/1), Mexican Pete (33/1), Queue Wing (40/1)

LAGUNA VERDE should be bang there but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Prince Of Taranto seems the leading danger, while Narina Trogon is the other candidate for the three.
