Forecasts

Miller's House (7/2), Dark Of Night (4/1), Great Image (11/2), Midnight Hunter (6/1), China Road (9/1), Apolo Kid (10/1), Coast Sky (12/1), Spirit Of Light (14/1), Midnight Deal (14/1), Take It Thunder (18/1), Mass Media (20/1), Flamewood (20/1), Sakher (22/1), Citizen Dream (28/1), Undark (40/1), Resig (80/1)

MILLER'S HOUSE needs to improve again but is going the right way and should get a prominent pitch from stall 3. Main-danger Dark of Night sets the standard on form but has no easy task from stall 16, while Spirit of Light also enters the reckoning.
