Forecasts

Spectacular (15/8), Continentalexpress (5/2), Rodriguez (4/1), View Of The World (13/2), Hodgepodge (17/2), The Mikado (10/1), King Bavarian (10/1), Bad Medicine (22/1), Total Surrender (33/1), Limelight Legend (33/1), I Am Classy (33/1), True Trojan (66/1)

RODRIGUEZ can strike. Hodgepodge has the strongest claims of the others, while The Mikado is another with a place chance too.
