Forecasts

Hemisphere (7/4), Sylvan Warrior (4/1), Palace Revolt (9/2), Falcon Strike (9/2), Fully Loaded (9/2), Longsword (7/1), Biofarmer (12/1), Bourbon Reserve (14/1), Abound (14/1), Red Penny (25/1), Super Awesome (50/1)

HEMISPHERE could be the one the others have to beat. Fully Loaded is a big challenger, while Falcon Strike is another that should go well.
