Forecasts

El Cohete (11/8), American Gem (15/8), Among The Willows (4/1), Takeachanceonme (15/2), Mediterraneanflame (17/2), Certainlydifferent (11/1), Skip The Line (12/1), Cautionary (14/1)

EL COHETE has been hard to fault in recent races and should make a bold show. American Gem shouldn't be underestimated, while Among The Willows edges it for third.
