Forecasts

Inclement Weather (11/4), Mostallim (4/1), Toptime (4/1), Eye Of The Water (6/1), Decision Maker (7/1), Critical Thinking (9/1), Steelriver (10/1), Dabirstar (12/1), Storm Over (22/1), Hurcle (50/1), Jessie Pye (100/1)

A chance is taken on EYE OF THE WATER who may have needed his first run after wind surgery here last month and is a classy sort for a 0-65. Recent C&D 1-2-3 Toptime, Inclement Weather and Steelriver are likely to make their presence felt again.
