Forecasts

Ticket To Ride (9/4), Vida Futura (10/3), Stay The Course (15/2), Duke Of Orange (8/1), Beneficiary (9/1), Great Guy (12/1), Saipan (14/1), Kingston Rock (16/1), Jaquar Cat (18/1), Narcos (25/1), Toureiro (25/1), Knave Of Diamonds (25/1), Excelsior (28/1), Florida Keys (33/1), Bethel (33/1), The Carpenter (33/1)

DUKE OF ORANGE should give backers a decent run for their money. Ticket To Ride is hard to ignore, while Great Guy might well have a say.
