Forecasts

Dreal Deal (6/4), Whitango (13/2), Nameloc (13/2), Miraculum (17/2), The Great White (12/1), Long March (12/1), Myladyrose (14/1), Empire Escape (16/1), Don't Let Go (16/1), Esthers Marvel (20/1), Balgowlah (22/1), Blue Markie (25/1), Easy Cash D'Alex (33/1), Play The Part (40/1), Piranto (50/1), Indian Admiral (80/1)

Not a particularly convincing bunch, but WHITANGO has been knocking on the door of late in similar events and from an unchanged mark, he could be the way to go. Blinkers may sharpen Empire Escape up and he is a threat, with Miraculum a threat assuming he casts aside a low-key Flat run recently.
