Forecasts

Puerto Plata (11/4), Juan Carlos (4/1), Harold The Duke (9/2), Reach Forthe Stars (15/2), Alado's Pride (8/1), Adios Amigos (9/1), Great Affair (10/1), Ellis Island (12/1), Lady Tiptree (12/1), Soft Touch (25/1), San Quintin (33/1), Joe Harman (40/1), Josi Mo (50/1)

ELLIS ISLAND looks safe. Lady Tiptree makes most appeal of the remainder, while Soft Touch is the other candidate for the three.
