Forecasts

Emblem Girl (15/8), Spirit Of Light (2/1), Great Image (4/1), Hamama (11/2), Varsha (12/1), China Road (12/1), Le Factor (16/1), Sports Reporter (16/1), Midnight Hunter (16/1), Rawwani (20/1), Unresolved (22/1), Reyah Al Shemal (33/1), Devine Trinity (50/1), Bariqa (80/1)

HAMAMA has a definite advantage on form and looks the one to side with. Spirit Of Light is another that comes into the equation, while the selection's stable companion Emblem Girl is worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
