Forecasts

Spelling Bee (5/2), Nelson Bay (10/3), The Shepherd (4/1), Tsar Bomba (6/1), Imposing (6/1), Master Josh (15/2), Mr Master Starter (10/1), Now I Got You (11/1), Bowie (14/1), The Gliding Fish (20/1), Safari Blue (33/1), Super Fast (33/1), Queen Of Smoke (66/1)

MR MASTER STARTER has sound claims. Imposing is most likely the main threat, while The Shepherd is one to bear in mind too.
