Forecasts

Kudzu (11/4), Copper John (4/1), The Inkosana (4/1), Donna Mo (9/2), Dimako's Jet (8/1), Circle Of Grace (12/1), Thambi (14/1), Woodland Glade (14/1), Futurewolff (28/1), Crepuscolo (28/1), Rainy Season (28/1), Flag Bearer (28/1), Follow My Path (33/1), Go Dream Machine (50/1)

DONNA MO improved significantly last time and is arguably the one the others have to beat. Woodland Glade could be the biggest danger, while The Inkosana commands a closer look as well.
