Forecasts

Professor Snape (7/4), Golden Peace (9/2), Aurora Storm (7/1), Riccardo (8/1), Teichman (17/2), Release Me (9/1), Time Taker (10/1), El Dante (10/1), The Bayou (12/1), Jazz Festival (14/1), Jetavana (16/1), Attorney General (20/1), Walton Hall (22/1)

JETAVANA is selected rather gingerly but it's an open race. El Dante might be the answer to second place, while Time Taker comes into calculations for third place.
