Forecasts

Power Ranger (6/5), El Romiachi (5/2), Trattoria (4/1), Anatura (9/1), Hey Bennie (10/1), Imperial Duke (16/1), Harrys Secret (20/1), Evening Rise (20/1), Manitoba (22/1), My Kingdom (25/1), Officer (25/1), Opening Gambit (33/1), Countess Trenton (66/1), Out Of The Rainbow (100/1)

TRATTORIA failed to justify market expectations on her most recent run, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Anatura could be the biggest competition, while Power Ranger also commands scrutiny.
