Forecasts

Maiden's Cove (7/2), United Express (4/1), State Of Mind (11/2), Dawn Of Gold (13/2), Rosa Dourada (13/2), Beau Kala (15/2), Kavian's Cara (15/2), More Than A Dream (9/1), Dumisani (14/1), The Lady Love (28/1), Just Forever (33/1)

DAWN OF GOLD continues to operate somewhere near current peak and seems likely to take the beating. Rosa Dourada is most likely the biggest danger, while State Of Mind might be worth siding with for third.
