Forecasts

Confide (11/8), Crystal Dawn (5/1), Adapt To Dan (11/2), Godhead (8/1), War Hero (10/1), Mischief Star (14/1), Fastman (16/1), Hightown Heights (22/1), Stardayz (28/1), Dutch Schaefer (28/1), Eagle Terrace (28/1), No Patience (33/1), Cedar Rapids (40/1), Raajihah (50/1), Border Battle (66/1)

CONFIDE has been off again since his good run starting out for this yard a year ago but returns in a ragtag claimer and looks the way to go with Colin Keane up. Adapt To Dan and War Hero are a couple of the other likely contenders.
