Forecasts

Persica (3/1), Allez Les Bleu (3/1), Phillydelphia (5/1), Mind Reader (11/2), Speechmaker (8/1), Claremorris (14/1), Clock Stopper (14/1), Mercer Girl (16/1), Moggie Brown (16/1), Veseo (18/1), Roksolana (25/1), Hear The Trumpet (28/1), Movie Show (50/1), Vars Jy (66/1)

PHILLYDELPHIA was the beaten market pick last time out, but remains in decent form and gets the vote again. Allez Les Bleu seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Persica also commands respect.
