Forecasts

Opera Glass (3/1), Rainy Season (3/1), Sergei (9/2), Dark Vision (11/2), Rabia The Rebel (15/2), Fred (15/2), Euphoriant (11/1), Waltzing Al (14/1), Perfect Passion (20/1), Wonderous (28/1), Trooper (28/1), Sitting Bull (40/1)

OPERA GLASS continues to operate somewhere near current best and should make a bold show. Rabia The Rebel could provide the chief danger, while Euphoriant might well have a say too.
