Forecasts

Ellis Island (10/3), Almighwaar (4/1), Bold Strike (4/1), Assured (4/1), American Landing (8/1), Jack And Ginger (9/1), Flying Pekan (14/1), Fat Cigar (16/1), Cape Point (16/1), Last Of The Legend (18/1), Bringbackthemoney (20/1), Savannah Buddy (20/1), Port Key (33/1), Grey Princess (40/1), Light Without (50/1), This Generation (66/1), Take The World (66/1)

BOLD STRIKE couldn't satisfy backers last time, but gets the nod again. Flying Pekan seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Ellis Island is not out of it where the places are concerned.
