Forecasts

Cool Winter (9/4), Watch Tower (4/1), First Origin (9/2), Great Melody (6/1), War Launch (6/1), Notorix (13/2), Coastal Path (8/1), On The Road Again (17/2), Pomodoro Magic (14/1), Kuznetsov (16/1), Bethel (20/1), Moonstrike (20/1), Arverni Warrior (20/1), Psychedelic Eric (25/1), Persica (25/1), Joyous Jubilee (33/1), Absolu Noir (50/1), Emerald Flame (66/1)

WATCH TOWER holds a convincing advantage on form and will prove hard to beat. First Origin is tough to ignore if looking elsewhere, while War Launch is prominent among those with minor place claims.
