Forecasts

Dark Side Prince (5/2), Trusty Rusty (3/1), Red Walls (7/1), Glamorous Force (8/1), Grandfather Tom (9/1), Mutabaahy (12/1), Qaaraat (12/1), Tom Tulliver (14/1), Cuban Breeze (20/1), Calin's Lad (28/1)

TRUSTY RUSTY is very consistent and seems to go well here. She has been extremely reliable since joining this yard and should be able to gain a third C&D success this year. Red Walls has similarly been a model of consistency on the all-weather recently and he'll be a big threat. Dark Side Prince is another that can't be ruled out.
