Forecasts

Katelli (9/4), Blue Cable (4/1), Bold Decision (15/2), Tomorrowland (17/2), Cappadocia (10/1), Suwaan (12/1), Fard (16/1), Secret Potion (16/1), Mansfield (18/1), Cobra Eye (18/1), Deception Valley (25/1), Perfect Symphony (40/1), Al Verde (40/1)

BOLD DECISION and Katelli were only just denied last week and both can make their presence felt again off the same mark, the former shading the vote. Blue Cable improved to win over C&D last time and is another to consider.
