Forecasts

Kojin (3/1), Ben Siegel (10/3), Razdan (10/3), Santa Florentina (7/1), Astrophysicist (8/1), Nepali (14/1), Catherine Chroi (16/1), Rugaday (18/1), Artistic Work (40/1)

KOJIN and Ben Siegel look winners-in-waiting and could be the pair to focus on, with preference for Jessica Harrington's charge. Santa Florentina could progress now handicapping and is another to note.
