Forecasts

Granddaddy Purple (5/2), Captain Morne (4/1), Goom Goom (4/1), Kind Of Blue (9/2), Hamlet (13/2), Siberian Fox (7/1), Uncle George (7/1), Wonder Woman (16/1), Miss United States (28/1), Magenta (33/1), Deep Dive (33/1), Herewegojo (33/1)

SIBERIAN FOX just about edges it as the selection but this is an open race. Kind Of Blue is one to bear in mind too.
