Forecasts

Aladdin's Lamp (5/6), Breeze Over (9/2), Fetching Flyer (9/2), Twenty Drachma's (13/2), Vesuvio (8/1), Arumugam (25/1), Second Base (33/1)

FETCHING FLYER has a very good chance on these terms. Vesuvio could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Aladdin's Lamp is another that should go well.
