Forecasts

Dj Junior (11/8), The Front Line (3/1), Sage King (5/1), Birthright (13/2), Hazlo Grande (7/1), Banha Bridge (10/1), Greenlight Magic (12/1), Nothingelsematters (22/1), Bronze Sword (40/1)

HAZLO GRANDE got back on track in his most recent race and will take all the beating. Greenlight Magic seemingly poses the biggest danger, while The Front Line demands respect as well.
