Forecasts

Moshaher (7/2), Etisalat (7/2), Alfolk (11/2), Imperial Empire (6/1), Taneen (10/1), Quiet Endeavour (11/1), Way of Wisdom (16/1), Visible Charm (16/1), Tashaaboh (18/1), Dosc (22/1), Rebel Streak (28/1), Tadbir (28/1), Pinter (33/1), The New Maharaja (33/1), Adventurous (40/1), Koditime (40/1)

MOSHAHER bounced back to form last time and should give it a good go once more. Imperial Empire is taken to follow the selection home, while Alfolk demands respect as well.
