Forecasts

Future Of Energy (11/4), Guarding The Wall (9/2), Lazy Guy (9/2), Coral Creek (7/1), Gunsmoke (8/1), Russian Empire (12/1), King's Sailor (14/1), Flash Lightning (14/1), Axel Collins (14/1), Nikes Ray Of Light (14/1), Noble Warrior (25/1), Magnum Fire (28/1), Sand Bank (28/1), Winning Captain (50/1)

LAZY GUY is operating at a good level lately and is just about the pick in this field. Noble Warrior could provide the sternest opposition, while Gunsmoke also requires respect.
