Forecasts

Samrogue (7/2), Senado Square (4/1), No Speed Limit (9/2), Havana Notion (13/2), Below Deck (13/2), Adams Barbour (9/1), Realtin Fantasy (10/1), Silver Nemo (14/1), My Girl Sioux (22/1), Bonny Power (25/1), Red Cymbal (28/1), Maggie Thunder (40/1), Florence Thompson (66/1), Ceres Ring (100/1), Coco Hill (150/1)

SAMROGUE just edged out Below Deck over C&D last month and, despite a tricky draw, she's worth a chance to confirm those placings if she breaks on terms. That pair make most appeal but No Speed Limit and Realtin Fantasy are both of interest also in an open race.
