Forecasts

San Pedro (3/1), Spirit Of My Fate (7/2), Winter Waves (4/1), Crested Eagle (6/1), White Cedar (7/1), Noble Sniper (8/1), Immeasurable (14/1), Gentleman's Way (18/1), Cupid's Song (18/1), Maserati Roar (22/1), Ultimate Jewel (33/1), Labrausco (40/1)

WINTER WAVES couldn't satisfy backers last time, but still appeals as the most obvious option. Crested Eagle is probably the toughest threat, while Noble Sniper has a place chance as well.
