Forecasts

Taxhaven (15/8), Strewn Sky (2/1), Douglas Dragon (9/4), Master Tik Tok (6/1), Russian Lotus (11/1), Main Mission (16/1), Japanese Maple (20/1), Hat Furious (33/1)

STREWN SKY's recent starts have been likeable in general and he just about gets the nod in this field. Taxhaven is feared most, while Main Mission is another with a place chance.
