Forecasts

Chyavana (2/1), Fostinovo (10/3), Mini Coop (4/1), Aussenkehr (4/1), Vegas Hi Rise (7/1), What A Honey (8/1), Tread Swiftly (9/1), Houston (9/1), Godswood (25/1), Mo Jive (28/1), Alabama Anna (28/1)

HOUSTON should have no problem in resuming winning ways. Aussenkehr is most likely the leading challenger, while What A Honey is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
