Forecasts

Baton Rouge (6/4), Beer With The Boys (11/4), Sansa Stark (9/2), Twice The Master (5/1), Summer Night City (11/1), Copper Plate (12/1), Gold Index (14/1), Hiawatha Goldberg (18/1), Fort Impreza (40/1)

TWICE THE MASTER gets the vote. Beer With The Boys could emerge as the main danger, while Sansa Stark is another that should go well.
