Forecasts

Sutherland (6/5), Satyagraha (10/3), King Of Numbers (7/2), Willow Express (10/1), Bloomington (18/1), It's Her Way (20/1), Cars Big As Bars (20/1), Super Awesome (25/1), Clarkson (25/1), Serrano (33/1), Big Boy Bruce (50/1)

SUPER AWESOME has marginally the best all-round profile but has little room for error. King Of Numbers could provide the main danger, while Sutherland deserves some consideration too.
