Forecasts

Truth (5/2), Cosmic Speed (3/1), Great Plains (4/1), Proceed (11/2), Winds Of Change (12/1), Waheed (16/1), Makazole (16/1), Taxi To The Moon (18/1), The Specialist (20/1), Golden Rule (40/1), Sunset Riot (40/1), Cold Shine (50/1), Cats Pajamas (66/1), Chinaberry (66/1)

TRUTH is well in front of these from a form perspective and is the one to beat. Proceed should be thereabouts, while Golden Rule is another with place prospects too.
