Forecasts

Winter Smoke (9/4), Vaseem (3/1), Bold Ransom (9/2), Celestial Love (9/2), Eden Roc (9/1), Rio's Winter (10/1), Mr Flood (12/1), Warrior's Rest (20/1), Eliud (20/1), Rivarine (28/1), Singforafa (33/1)

RIO'S WINTER continues in form and seems likely to take the beating. Winter Smoke makes most appeal among the rest, while Bold Ransom has a place chance as well.
