Forecasts

Ryans Boulevard (5/4), San Simon (7/4), Mizzen Sail (5/1), Guardia Regine (7/1), Laughing William (10/1), Majestic Touch (12/1), Allende (14/1), Mariachi Madness (50/1), Falcon Strike (66/1), Vava Vegas (66/1)

MIZZEN SAIL is probably the one to beat. San Simon is a chief threat, while Laughing William also requires scrutiny.
