Forecasts

Bint Australia (8/11), Khaalis (11/4), Eaglesglen (7/1), El Conquistador (9/1), Gertcha (33/1), Salam Ya Faisal (40/1), Atlas Flame (40/1), Ros's Dream (200/1), No More Promises (250/1), I Am Wild (250/1)

BINT AUSTRALIA has lost out in a couple of close finishes of late, and unless expensive colt Khaalis runs to a pretty useful level at the first time of asking, this looks there for the taking.
