Forecasts

Sakhala Is'cathulo (5/4), Samoa (5/2), In The Ether (7/2), Commander Of All (8/1), Bregardt (10/1), Pacific (11/1), Together Again (22/1), Thunderbird (22/1)

SAMOA has been running well and is just about the pick in this field. Sakhala Is'cathulo is dangerous, while Pacific is another that could figure.
