Forecasts

Moqtarreb (4/9), Mystery Land (3/1), Haafel (6/1), Bleu Marine (13/2), Montakhab (20/1), Times Past (25/1)

MOQTARREB is in a league of his own on form and should be capable of taking this, the one caveat being that he needs to prove his effectiveness on dirt. Mystery Land should be involved at the business end as well, while Haafel could have a bit more to offer.
