Forecasts

Mount Pleasant (6/4), Cirillo (3/1), Chimichuri Run (7/1), Riverstown (9/1), Tierra Del Fuego (10/1), Astrix (10/1), Zouaves (12/1), Infamous Fox (16/1), Cockney Pride (16/1), Full Mast (33/1), D' Arrivee (33/1), Rivarine (40/1), Clever Guy (40/1)

INFAMOUS FOX registered a personal best last time and sets the standard. Rivarine looks the likeliest to chase the selection home, while Zouaves also has claims.
