Forecasts

Winter Blessing (6/4), Captain Ventura (3/1), Sovereign Gem (7/2), Sargasso Sea (9/2), Winter Belle (10/1), Exaggerate (22/1), Sol E Sombra (50/1)

WINTER BLESSING appeals best of these by a narrow margin. Captain Ventura can also take a hand, while Sovereign Gem is in the running for a share of the minor money.
