Forecasts

Guru's Pride (9/2), Liberty Hall (9/2), Count Jack (11/2), More Magic (6/1), Hudoo Magic (8/1), Nexus (9/1), Cat Daddy (10/1), Duc D'Orange (11/1), Silent Crusade (14/1), Indy Go (16/1), Herodotus (18/1)

LIBERTY HALL appears to have just enough in hand to take this but this is an open race. More Magic is another who should take a hand, while Indy Go is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
