Forecasts

Dutch Schultz (3/1), Dani Barcelona (9/2), Weather Alert (11/2), Wajaaha (7/1), Dawn Of The West (7/1), Mountain Fox (9/1), All Class (9/1), Grand D'espagne (14/1), Jake Peter (14/1), Mitigated Risk (14/1), Whirling Dervish (16/1), Nathaniel's Dream (25/1), Pearl Of The West (28/1), Scarpeta (50/1)

There is more to come from DUTCH SCHULTZ for new connections and he could make a successful handicap debut upped further in trip now. Weather Alert and Nathaniel's Dream are a couple of the other more interesting runners.
