Forecasts

Higher Purpose (11/4), Caesura (7/2), Knight Warrior (5/1), Brandenburg (7/1), Lightening Spirit (7/1), Capriccio (9/1), Seventh Song (12/1), Great Guy (14/1), Grande Maestro (14/1), Stand By Me (16/1), Rocky Coast (18/1), Norland (25/1)

CAESURA looks to have marginally the best chance on his return. Grande Maestro is tough to ignore, while Great Guy has place prospects as well.
