Forecasts

Andy Coogle (11/4), Coastal Path (4/1), Eyjafjallajokull (4/1), Nelson Bay (5/1), Riverstone (11/2), One Too Many (14/1), Forest Spy (14/1), Champonelle (16/1), Play Act (28/1), El Romiachi (40/1), The Winter Lake (50/1)

COASTAL PATH looks to have narrowly the best claims and earns the vote with his consistency incredibly hard to knock. One Too Many has the strongest claims of the others, while Andy Coogle deserves some consideration as well.
