Forecasts

Below Deck (4/1), Sam's Xpress (4/1), Maggie McGrath (4/1), Inishmot Prince (6/1), No Speed Limit (13/2), Just Another (10/1), Havana Notion (11/1), Adams Barbour (12/1), Kuwait Direction (12/1), Senado Square (12/1), Smullen's Pride (14/1), Bonny Power (14/1), Theriverrunsdeep (16/1), Realtin Fantasy (22/1), Red Cymbal (22/1), Coco Hill (28/1), Astral Beat (33/1)

A chance is taken on KUWAIT DIRECTION who could be sharper with his recent first outing in 5 months behind him and has dropped to 4 lb below the mark he defied here at the beginning of the year. Sam's Xpress, Inishmot Prince and Coco Hill head the many possible dangers.
