Forecasts

Agusta Gold (11/10), Samcro (9/4), Roi Mage (13/2), Jimmil (8/1), Waitnsee (12/1)

A very trappy betting heat given SAMCRO is on the downgrade and Augusta Gold doesn't arrive in much form either, but the former really should be going close in a race of this nature and gets the tentative nod.
