Forecasts

Winter Pearl (7/2), Pedro (4/1), Clean Slate (4/1), High Moon (9/2), Track Commander (9/2), National Dream (11/2), Beechurst (8/1), Walton Hall (16/1), Brandenburg (22/1)

NATIONAL DREAM has sound claims. High Moon could provide the chief threat, while Pedro should rightly get a few votes.
