Forecasts

Ra'ed (5/4), Soldiers Song (5/2), Enigma Code (4/1), Infinite Wonder (8/1), Understated (14/1), David's Palace (16/1), Mount Athos (28/1), Rainy Season (33/1), Brave Jackson (33/1), Sitting Bull (40/1), Joe Harman (50/1), Diamond Shine (66/1), The Punisher (80/1)

RA'ED holds a sizeable advantage on the form book and is the one to beat. Soldiers Song is a sound alternative, while Understated is another with the potential to be on the premises.
