Forecasts

Eastbrook (5/2), Country Squire (11/4), Fantasy Flower (7/2), Look To The Sky (7/1), Grindelwald (7/1), Ramsay (14/1), Just As Rich (16/1), Opening Gambit (16/1), Oksana (22/1), Broadway Babe (25/1), Pretty Jolly (33/1), Bridge Of Spies (40/1), Master Boulder (50/1), Forbe's Quarry (50/1), Westwing Belter (66/1)

EASTBROOK continues to run well and has fair claims. Country Squire has to come into the equation too, while Oksana also demands respect.
