Forecasts

Global Drummer (4/6), Wild Coast (3/1), Oscar Wilde (9/2), Grazinginthegrass (5/1), Arctic Drift (8/1), Legitimate (9/1), Greenlighttoheaven (12/1), Herodotus (12/1), Blingking (18/1), Seven Patriots (25/1), First Street (28/1), Aqua Delta (33/1), Snow Report (40/1)

GLOBAL DRUMMER could scarcely be in better form right now and has strong claims. First Street can't hope for much better than second, while Grazinginthegrass might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
