Forecasts

Green Flash (7/4), Just The Two Of Us (5/2), Chasing Happiness (3/1), Ice Star (4/1), Virginia Beach (7/1), The Navy Lark (8/1), Godspeed (10/1), Force Eight (10/1), Global Thunder (28/1)

CHASING HAPPINESS is running very well right now as most recent effort showed and should come home in front. Force Eight could be the sternest opposition, while Green Flash is another that merits respect.
