Forecasts

Wodhooh (1/4), Cossack Chach (4/1), San Guido (12/1), Eagles Reign (16/1), Bravewhenineedtobe (25/1), National Emblem (40/1), Obama Army (50/1), Tiny Angel (80/1)

WODHOOH has made a big impression on her first two outings in this sphere and is firmly expected to bring up the hat-trick for all that Cossack Chach is promising in his own right. Newcomer Bravewhenineedtobe looks the pick of the rest.
