Forecasts

Time Has Wings (7/4), Merry Secret (2/1), Emjaytwentythree (9/2), Day Trader (11/2), Porth Diana (25/1), Mcgivern (40/1), My Best Friend (50/1)

TIME HAS WINGS looks worth another shot at 7f and is just about the one to beat on these terms. Merry Secret was a bit disappointing here 3 weeks ago but tasted success prior to that and he ought to make a bold bid down in class.
