Forecasts

Empire Street (5/1), Leahman (5/1), Macaban City (11/2), Pempie (13/2), Storm Elza (9/1), Reflectionist (9/1), Strip Light (11/1), Characteristic (12/1), Merroir (12/1), Maricruz (14/1), Switch Around (14/1), Quiet Desire (16/1), Caridadi (16/1), Zinat (18/1), Manap (25/1), Santorini Sun (80/1), Yalla Go (125/1)

SWITCH AROUND has yet to fire in handicaps but it's probably significant that connections are persevering with her, so she's given the vote with the booking of Colin Keane also catching the eye. Pempie shaped well after 4 months off here last time and must enter calculations back up in trip, while Leahman remains interesting from his current mark, too.
