Forecasts

Eastern Racer (7/2), Fugacious (7/2), Atlas (9/2), Swiss Army Officer (5/1), Turbine (15/2), Muraahin (17/2), Camino Mission (9/1), Koybig (20/1), Getback In Paris (25/1), Secret Wizard (80/1)

ATLAS ran up to his best in handicap company last time and is a good deal more reliable than the majority of his rivals, so he gets the nod ahead of stablemate Turbine, though it's worth being mindful of the market vibes when it comes to that pair. Eastern Racer is also a definite player.
