Forecasts

Gold Aura (5/2), Delta Legend (10/3), Night Bear (7/1), Blue Collar (15/2), Yurinov (10/1), Incan Empire (10/1), Pysanka (11/1), Alvesta (12/1), Last Empress (12/1), Apache Canyon (18/1), Mr Zippi (25/1), Inlet (33/1)

Cases can be made for several but, with his reappearance under his belt, NIGHT BEAR is selected to regain the winning thread with his usual headgear reapplied at the expense of Incan Empire, who should advance his form now handicapping for his up-and-coming handler. Last Empress, Yurinov and long-standing maiden Gold Aura are a handful of others to consider, too.
