Forecasts

Inner Sense (3/1), Writteninthesand (9/2), Meet The Captain (9/2), Written In Stone (5/1), Cerulean Dancer (11/2), Gimme The Flame (6/1), Var Park (10/1), Carnelo (10/1), Tanganga (12/1), Anytime Champ (14/1), Gimme Royalty (28/1)

MEET THE CAPTAIN is operating at a solid level lately and should prove hard to catch. Cerulean Dancer gets the nod among the rest, while Written In Stone is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
