Forecasts

Masterbling (4/1), Happy Analia (9/2), Tchaikovsky (15/2), B Fiftytwo (15/2), Northern Warrior (15/2), Rhythm (8/1), Sakhala Is'cathulo (8/1), The Navy Lark (8/1), Boom Shakalaka (10/1), Philispiel (12/1), Bless Me Fred (22/1), Chara Sands (25/1)

HAPPY ANALIA is just about up to taking this Sakhala Is'cathulo could be the one to profit if the selection underperforms, while Rhythm shouldn't be discarded.
