Forecasts

Emperor Spirit (11/10), Inigo Jones (13/8), Western Alliance (7/1), Zikany (17/2), Punta Arenas (14/1), Miss Zenlingus (40/1), Day Trader (40/1), Spy Legend (40/1), Afta Party (66/1), Beat The Storm (66/1), Vina Bay (66/1), Cubano (150/1), Capricious (250/1)

EMPEROR SPIRIT might have opened his account with better luck here 3 weeks ago and is difficult to oppose with this step up in trip sure to suit him. There is more to come from Inigo Jones and he's the main threat ahead of newcomer Western Alliance.
