Forecasts

Mazagran (3/1), Book Review (9/2), Resig (9/2), Anizzah (11/2), Arabian Moon (7/1), First Emblem (7/1), Midnight Hunter (8/1), Don Pellingrino (10/1), Kite Wing (14/1), Zalmi Star (16/1), Tepui (18/1), Regal Legacy (22/1), Capital City (28/1), Playwriter (28/1), Achiever (40/1), Flamewood (66/1)

ANNIZAH has shown enough to think he can win a small race and gets the tentative vote. First Emblem appeals most among the rest, while Arabian Moon might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
