Forecasts

The Magical Mccool (11/4), Onda Ruggente (4/1), Yukon Star (6/1), Razeemm (13/2), Fusion Gold (13/2), State Event (17/2), Rebel Love (10/1), Black Mark (12/1), Practical Mischief (16/1), Mosheer (28/1)

This can be fought out by a pair of newcomers, with RAZEEMM gaining the tentative vote. The Magical McCool is obviously respected for Dobbs/Watson, while Fusion Gold can fare best of those with experience.
