Forecasts

Travel Master (15/8), My Bestie (3/1), Abound (4/1), Golden Pavilion (9/2), Holocene (7/1), Global State (8/1), Pedro (8/1), To The Hilt (14/1), William The First (22/1), Pomo's Big Spender (25/1), Gunsmoke (33/1)

TRAVEL MASTER failed to justify market support on his most recent run, but edges it as the selection once again. Golden Pavilion could be the answer to second place, while Abound isn't dismissed lightly.
