Forecasts

Nasraawy (3/1), Hyde Park (8/1), Shanaghai City (9/1), Trickbag (10/1), Gervais (10/1), Ode To Autumn (10/1), Karaginsky (12/1), Shanty Star (12/1), Vasari (12/1), Eshaasy (14/1), Galvanize (16/1), Above Normal (16/1), Spirit Of Light (18/1), Three Weeks (25/1), Night Castle (28/1), Desert Frost (28/1)

GALVANIZE is handicapped to go well and should give a good account back down in trip. Shanaghai City can also take a hand, while Hyde Park could well have a say too.
