Forecasts

Kommetdieding (10/3), Rainbow Bridge (7/2), Linebacker (4/1), Jet Dark (8/1), Seeking The Stars (8/1), Warrior (12/1), Pacaya (14/1), Trip Of Fortune (14/1), Pomp And Power (20/1), After The Rain (33/1), Good Traveller (33/1)

RAINBOW BRIDGE is running very well right now as several recent efforts indicate and has strong claims. Kommetdieding is also fancied to take a hand, while Linebacker can't be ruled out of things either.
