Forecasts

Indigo Balance (9/4), Mi Esperanza (9/2), That's Mad (6/1), Jungle Jane (13/2), Grammata (8/1), Primo Uomo (9/1), Inflection Point (10/1), Rocky Dreams (14/1), Only Spoofing (25/1), Illetas (40/1)

INDIGO BALANCE struggled upon a transfer to Australia, but back with Jessica Harrington, he shaped very well when runner-up at the Curragh a month ago. He appeals as being well treated from the same mark so looks the answer. Primo Uomo can also be a factor back on turf, while Mi Esperanza is likely to give it a good shot.
