Forecasts

Dances With Stars (6/4), Jake Peter (5/1), The Virginian (13/2), Top Line Tommy (8/1), Tooreen Angel (10/1), Bring Us Paradise (11/1), No Trouble (14/1), El C Wells (16/1), Zoom Tiger (16/1), Power Drive (20/1), Effernock Fizz (40/1), Travel On (50/1)

DANCES WITH STARS could be called the winner early in the straight when beating Jake Peter here 2 weeks ago and this low-mileage 5-y-o is taken to follow up. Jake Peter should at least finish closer to the selection on 5 lb better terms, while The Virginian responded well to a tongue strap when off the mark over C&D 3 weeks ago.
