Forecasts

Cliff Top (4/6), Cruise Control (7/2), Ledell's Echo (13/2), Al Qaasim (11/1), Stranger Danger (12/1), What A Winner (18/1), Whatever Next (20/1), Area Fifty One (20/1), Gallic Tribe (33/1), Spydas Corner (40/1)

CLIFF TOP improved significantly last time after his effort the time before and has claims second to none. Cruise Control seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Area Fifty One commands a second look as well.
