Forecasts

Ferrando (11/8), Mr Bodacious (5/2), Raptor Island (6/1), Great Times (15/2), The Lady Love (10/1), Jackson Misissippi (10/1), Warbonnet Creek (14/1), Regina Bellissima (25/1), Komesans Passion (33/1), Callmemrgreenlight (40/1), Mediteraneangoddes (50/1)

RAPTOR ISLAND has put together a solid series of recent efforts and sets the bar. Mr Bodacious is most likely the sternest opposition, while Ferrando might well have a say too.
