Forecasts

Admiralty Arch (3/1), In Cahoots (9/2), Irontail (5/1), Prairie Falcon (11/2), Never To Clever (13/2), Bird In Space (10/1), The Chosen One (14/1), Twice As Wild (16/1), Whorly Whorly (16/1), Circus Lights (18/1), Eagle Alley (25/1), Vava Vegas (25/1), Rio's Kiss (33/1), Lady Sanza (50/1)

Verdict

NEVER TO CLEVER is on a 4-timer after a break and just about sets the standard. Prairie Falcon is most likely the chief opposition, while Irontail commands respect as well.
