Forecasts

Jay Pee M (3/1), The Big Cloud (4/1), Another Ocana (11/2), Camino Mission (6/1), Ragmans Corner (15/2), Flicker Of Hope (8/1), Roderick (8/1), Boston Bongo (12/1), Qatar Spirit (18/1), Kilbrin Rocco (20/1), Crowsatedappletart (22/1), Mywayorthehighway (100/1)

A few with chances but JAY PEE M rates the pick at these weights and gets the nod at the chief expense of course-winner Another Ocana. The unexposed Camino Mission and handicap-debutants Kilbrin Rocco and Flicker of Hope all command plenty of respect too.
