Forecasts

Eagle's Flight (3/1), Roca Roma (4/1), Freescape (5/1), Nebo (11/2), Quizical (8/1), Free Solo (9/1), Cyrus Dallin (11/1), Royal Pippen (16/1), Rebel Tale (16/1), Fan Club Rules (125/1)

FREESCAPE is on a good mark if building on his Limerick second now returned to a handicap. He gets the vote over Eagle's Flight and Roca Roma.
