Forecasts

Mission To Mars (10/11), Best Candidate (3/1), Titans Of War (15/2), Gimmeachoice (15/2), Robert Browning (14/1), Royal Edition (16/1), Apache Son (16/1), Texas Missile (16/1), Breeze Over (50/1), Hotarubi (50/1), Flashy Apache (66/1)

DIWALI ROCKET's overall form just gives him the edge but it's an open race. Robert Browning should be involved at the business end too, while Gimmeachoice is another with place prospects.
