Forecasts

State Capitol (15/8), Ozark (5/2), Gold Index (13/2), Hang Out The Stars (15/2), Dream Searcher (17/2), City Of Port Louis (12/1), United We Stand (16/1), Mela Strength (16/1), Mothership (16/1), Summer Night City (20/1), De Vlugge (25/1), Black Path (25/1), Flying Bomb (66/1)

DREAM SEARCHER's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and she just about sets the standard. De Vlugge could emerge as the main danger, while State Capitol edges it so far as third place is concerned.
