Forecasts

Island Native (11/8), Havana Goldrush (5/2), Struck Gold (9/2), Stella Hogan (13/2), United Force (20/1), Green Go (150/1)

STELLA HOGAN has been running well of late and looks up to defying her current mark, so she's the most appealing option. Havana Goldrush and Island Native are feared most.
