Forecasts

Barak (10/11), Masaaken (11/4), Smiley River (13/2), Paybackthemoney (7/1), Mystery Boy (7/1), Before Noon (14/1), August Leaves (14/1)

SMILEY RIVER looks to have marginally the best claims but hasn't much room for error. Masaaken may be the best bet for second, while Barak is one to bear in mind as well.
