Forecasts

Acquiescent (3/1), Hightown Heights (7/2), Business (5/1), Stellar Spirit (5/1), Sunset Nova (9/1), Morning Approach (12/1), Majeski Man (16/1), Tresorier (16/1), Mass Gathering (20/1), Gold Wing (25/1), Designer Cailin (28/1), Woodrow (28/1), Zahee (33/1), Well Suited (40/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (50/1), Angel Palanas (200/1)

ACQUIESCENT caught the eye when a running-on second here last week and is potentially well handicapped if building on that. Sunset Nova and Stellar Spirit head the dangers.
