Forecasts

Sugar Mountain (11/10), Cherry Ano (7/2), Fairy Knight (4/1), Hat's Pride (9/1), Sequoia (16/1), Firealley (18/1), Inherit The Rain (20/1), Bush Tracker (28/1), Global Ally (28/1)

SUGAR MOUNTAIN is in the form of his life right now and sets the standard. Cherry Ano is a marginal preference for second, while Bush Tracker also commands scrutiny.
