Forecasts

Kingdom Of Heaven (9/4), Get Impressed (5/2), Lindbergh (11/2), Bardolino (6/1), Nordic Chief (13/2), Monumental (12/1), Down By The River (14/1), Prime Venture (16/1), Quatermain (16/1), Touchdown (22/1), Northern Song (28/1)

NORDIC CHIEF is operating at a good level lately and will probably take the beating. Bardolino is another who could have a hand in the finish, while Lindbergh is the other candidate for the three.
