Forecasts

Living Waters (11/4), Fat Cigar (7/2), Double Gemini (11/2), Sea Sponge (11/2), Fever (7/1), Brigade (8/1), King's Cove (11/1), Rock With Me (20/1), Rocky Coast (22/1), Isla Morada (22/1), Final Occasion (22/1), Forest Phoenix (40/1)

LIVING WATERS looks to have marginally the best claims but this is an open race. Sea Sponge should be thereabouts too, while King's Cove is another to consider.
