Forecasts

Buster Keaton (2/1), Purple Powahouse (7/2), Winter Waves (4/1), Lazy Guy (8/1), Intrepid (8/1), Ndaka (17/2), Northern Warrior (12/1), Impartial (14/1), Quanabi (16/1), Pantea (16/1), Drogarati (18/1), Magwinya (18/1), Lord Edward (20/1), Roy's July Magic (28/1), Oh My Word Its Roy (33/1)

WINTER WAVES's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he is just about the pick in this field. Lazy Guy seems the primary challenger, while Buster Keaton could well have a say as well.
