Forecasts

Coastal Path (11/4), Great Melody (10/3), Miss Rose (9/2), Notorix (13/2), Warbonnet Creek (15/2), Ygritte (11/1), Modern Magician (12/1), Psychedelic Eric (16/1), Siberian Fox (16/1), Granddaddy Purple (20/1), Cross Examiner (22/1), Flying Peter (25/1), Persica (33/1), Emerald Flame (50/1)

COASTAL PATH is in good heart right now and is probably the one to beat. Great Melody could provide the main threat, while Warbonnet Creek might well have a say as well.
