Forecasts

Poker School (2/1), Little Jon (5/1), Somchine (6/1), Robbing The Prey (8/1), Pearls Legend (8/1), Rear Admiral (8/1), Derintoher Yank (9/1), Raven's Tower (14/1), Strongly Suggested (20/1)

Little Jon is weighted to turn the tables on Somchine, but has not won for ages and is hard to recommend. Strongly Suggested is better over farther and Pearls Legend more effective over shorter, so the vote goes to bottom-weight REAR ADMIRAL, who may be at the veteran stage but ran well last time and acts on this sort of surface. Top-weight Poker School may give him most to do.
