Forecasts

Mesmerizing Moon (4/1), Soweto Rose (4/1), Stay The Course (5/1), Storm Chaser (6/1), Timkat (6/1), Magic Blaze (8/1), Paris Opera (12/1), Knave Of Diamonds (12/1), Sovereign Supreme (12/1), Tevye (22/1), Flower's Ridge (22/1), Phedra (28/1), Stanton Street (33/1), Princess Santo (33/1), Calvino (33/1), Emerald Flame (40/1)

SOWETO ROSE continues to run creditably and sets the bar. Timkat is probably the chief threat, while Stay The Course isn't entirely out of it either.
