Forecasts

Paul Revere (9/4), Master Christmas (3/1), Max The Magician (6/1), Player (7/1), Command Pilot (15/2), Potberrie (8/1), Kudzu (8/1), Curtiss Condor (16/1), Daimyo (20/1)

Verdict

MASTER CHRISTMAS looks marginally the best of this bunch but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Paul Revere is the most pragmatic second option, while Max The Magician is another with the potential to figure.

  1. Master Christmas3/1
  2. Paul Revere9/4
  3. Max The Magician6/1
