Forecasts

Turbulent (4/7), Bugle (10/3), Monkey's Wedding (11/2), Miss Takes (10/1), Makajima (11/1), Lucky Chance (16/1), Aethelwulf (25/1), Dead Poets Society (28/1), Norse Warrior (50/1), Divo Mondo (66/1)

TURBULENT can bounce back with a big run. Lucky Chance is most likely the primary challenger, while Aethelwulf is another with a place chance.
