Forecasts

Sierra Nevada (7/2), Miss Abby Jools (4/1), Super Cub (9/2), Smaoineamh Sile (13/2), Cedar Rapids (11/1), Tynamite (14/1), Phoenix Open (14/1), Never Back Down (16/1), Wrist Art (16/1), Simply Sideways (16/1), Chummie (18/1), International Lady (18/1), Chica Power (20/1), Indian Raj (25/1), Hardly Useless (25/1), War Hero (25/1), Vento Del Drago (33/1)

SUPER CUB has been knocking on the door and he can gain reward for his consistency if he's able to get across from stall 12. Another solid showing can be expected from Smaoineamh Sile and there's more improvement to come from Miss Abby Jools, so they're both potential threats to the selection.
