Forecasts

Safari Quest (15/8), Rekero (4/1), Chicago Black Hawk (9/2), Delta Romeo (6/1), Royal Eagle (8/1), Peppermint Bay (14/1), Snap Chap (16/1), Empyrea (25/1), Rodman (40/1), Uco Valley (50/1), Alfalfa (66/1), Vee Dancer (200/1), David's Lad (250/1), Losing My Edge (400/1)

Connections reach for blinkers on REKERO's second start, but he looks open to progress and he could be the answer in what is an open-looking maiden. Safari Quest should be a factor, with Royal Eagle a likely improver, too.
