Forecasts

One Vision (7/2), Bladesmith (5/1), Miracle Maker (11/2), Sa'ada (11/2), Lady Snazz (7/1), Fraserburgh (10/1), Right Flank (10/1), Cranesbill (12/1), Montakhab (14/1), Masaali (14/1), Al Barez (16/1), Arch Gold (16/1), Tafaakhor (18/1), Cherkes Pharoah (20/1), Take It Thunder (28/1)

SA'ADA is in decent form right now and should give another good account in an open race. Bladesmith shouldn't be too far away either, while Fraserburgh heads up those chasing third place.
