Forecasts

Win Win Power (5/2), Connected (10/3), Storymaker (5/1), Local Music (8/1), Girl From Italy (8/1), Pontius (8/1), Dion Baker (11/1), Harbour Vision (14/1), Six Strings (25/1), Blue Hero (33/1), Evasive Power (100/1)

WIN WIN POWER did well to get up late over C&D a week ago and, as such, he's worth a chance to follow up. Connected is a danger back up in trip and Pontius can't be dismissed.
