Forecasts

Tagovailoa (13/8), Spring Bloom (7/2), Excellent George (7/2), Blonde Warrior (13/2), Devils Roc (7/1), Atletico (7/1)

TAGOVAILOA is in form and dropping in grade so he looks the safest option in a race that probably won't take a lot of winning. Devils Roc is preferred to Spring Bloom for the forecast.
