Forecasts

Sausalito (4/5), Red Evelyn (11/2), Channel Packet (13/2), Crazy Spin (9/1), Lake Sand (9/1), Six Strings (10/1), Faithless Insomnia (12/1), Book Of Verse (14/1), Guitar (33/1), Cape Cornwall Rose (40/1)

In a first-time visor, SAUSALITO opened his account at this C&D last week and he can follow up with there likely to be a decent pace for him to aim at again. Six Strings quickly returned to form last time and heads the list of possible dangers, ahead of Channel Packet.
