Forecasts

Be Merry (11/4), Sohot Sowhat (3/1), Minogue (13/2), Lucrative (15/2), Callmegetrix (17/2), Green Sapphire (10/1), Bevies Delight (10/1), Oxalis Gold (14/1), Scarlet Macaw (14/1), Summer Lily (25/1), Sovereign Grant (40/1), Magical View (66/1), Sonic Jet (80/1)

LUCRATIVE has put together a solid series of efforts lately and will probably take the beating. Magical View is a solid alternative, while Oxalis Gold also requires a closer look.
