Forecasts

Rozara (5/2), Coldhardstare (10/3), Rose For Trippi (7/2), Moonshiningthrough (9/2), There She Goes (11/2), Bold Act (8/1), Wings Of Nike (8/1), Silver Winter (14/1), Big Eyed Girl (16/1)

SILVER WINTER should give a good account but it's an open race. Coldhardstare has to come into the equation too, while Rose For Trippi also commands respect.
