Rio's Winter³⁵

Weight: 8-2| Age: 6

T: Stephen Moffatt J: Jeffery Syster

Forecasts

Sweet Future (10/3), Battle Force (4/1), Celestial Love (11/2), Vaseem (6/1), Riverstown (13/2), Bohica (7/1), Eden Roc (10/1), Chimichuri Run (12/1), Rivarine (14/1), Visiway (18/1), Rio's Winter (20/1), Warrior's Rest (25/1)

BOHICA should be thereabouts but this is an open race. Rio's Winter arguably sets the standard among the remainder, while Eden Roc is the other candidate for the three.
