Forecasts

Naval Guard (6/4), Puerto Manzano (10/3), Perfect Witness (9/2), Second Base (17/2), Golden Pheasant (11/1), Expressfromtheus (14/1), Zillzaal (16/1), Marchingontogether (20/1), Juliet Tango (28/1), Western Fort (50/1), Baymax (50/1)

EXPRESSFROMTHEUS just about looks the one to be with but this is an open race. Juliet Tango could provide the most competition, while Golden Pheasant is another to consider.
