Forecasts

Jack The Truth (7/2), Lucky Beggar (9/2), Oriental Lilly (9/2), My Name Is Rio (5/1), Landing Night (11/2), Rasheeq (13/2), Kupa River (8/1), Lomu (17/2), Economic Crisis (12/1), Manshood (12/1), Eternalist (16/1)

JACK THE TRUTH has been running well so far this year and he can register a first victory on turf in this competitive contest. My Name Is Rio ran well to finish runner-up last time and can fill the same position dropping in trip while Landing Night can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by claiming third.
