Forecasts

Almas Tower (15/8), Vida Futura (5/2), American Landing (11/2), Magnum Fire (6/1), Van Gogh (13/2), Drengs Ferry (8/1), Dirty Martini (14/1), Absolutely Fab (20/1), Miss Otis (20/1), Humble Tune (20/1), With Our Blessing (33/1)

ALMAS TOWER was much improved in his latest race and has obvious claims. American Landing is hard to ignore in the search for second, while Humble Tune isn't out of it either.
