Forecasts

Zero To A Hundred (2/1), Emirates Currency (5/2), One Idea (6/1), Royal Castle (10/1), Arabian Moon (14/1), Panoshoshic (16/1), Varsha (18/1), Bedouins Boy (18/1), Aalayyan (22/1), Welcome Surprise (28/1), Terrain (33/1), Falcon Claws (33/1), Regal Legacy (40/1), Poet's Mind (40/1), Achiever (50/1), Playwriter (80/1)

ZERO TO A HUNDRED has run well on all 3 dirt starts and should prove tough to beat if equally effective on turf. One Idea is not one to underestimate however, while Royal Castle edges it as the selection for third.
