Forecasts

My Swallow (2/1), Surprise Picture (3/1), Moorbik (7/2), Fiftyshadesofred (11/2), Freak Out (13/2), Forest Falcon (15/2), Storm Catcher (14/1), Taravara (18/1), Ventura Mutiny (50/1)

FREAK OUT looked to not handle Epsom in a competitive handicap there last month and he may appreciate the return to a more conventional track. He had been steadily improving and can get back on the up now. My Swallow looks a good prospect for his top trainer and he has to be respected. Taravara has been in and out but he may appreciate the drop in trip here.
