Forecasts

Keilah (3/1), Limestone Red (13/2), Lohengrin (8/1), Little Lady Lucy (8/1), Hurricane Helen (10/1), Leviosa (10/1), Sobriety Blue (10/1), Spring Collection (12/1), Trishuli River (12/1), Tomahawk King (12/1), Zippy Rocket (16/1), Han Solo (16/1), Rockbury Lad (16/1), Unterberg (20/1), Obama Army (20/1), Share The Treasure (22/1), Dancing Steve (25/1), Pegula (28/1), Small Bucks (40/1), Vittorio Micheli (50/1), Well Suited (50/1)

A wide-open race in which a tentative vote goes the way of SPRING COLLECTION, who has been shaping up quite well of late and blinkers might give her a bit extra. Keilah is a potentially interesting recruit for the Willie McCreery yard and could pose a threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Limestone Red and Lohengrin also make the shortlist.
