Forecasts

Sacred Falls (13/8), Crypto Quest (4/1), Northern Spirit (15/2), Braveheart Boy (15/2), Manigordo (8/1), Exalted Angel (10/1), Gentle Ellen (10/1), No Saint (14/1), Gobi Sunset (18/1), American Star (25/1)

SACRED FALLS returned to form in no uncertain terms at Hamilton 3 days ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, she should be able to go one better off the same mark. Crypto Quest is a danger and No Saint deserves respect.
