Forecasts

Purple Powahouse (11/8), Great Guy (4/1), Treading Water (5/1), Big Sky Country (7/1), Pacific Winter (8/1), Maa Nonu (12/1), Elegant General (16/1), Jozi Hustle (22/1), Transonic (25/1), Precious Love (33/1), Spanish Fort (33/1), Captain Cobalt (50/1)

PURPLE POWAHOUSE was the beaten market choice last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Great Guy is the rational second option, while Treading Water merits respect as well.
