Forecasts

Blizzard Snow (11/4), Francilien (3/1), Take Your Place (11/2), Midnight Fusion (6/1), One Party (6/1), Golden Aspen (6/1), Raining Rubies (10/1), Lucy In The Sky (14/1)

TAKE YOUR PLACE has been running creditably of late and just about gets the nod in this field. Blizzard Snow can emerge best of the rest, while One Party should also be considered.
