Forecasts

Twisted Dreams (3/1), Masque Of Anarchy (10/3), Monash (5/1), Jomont (8/1), Boy In The Bar (8/1), Kingson (10/1), Iron Sheriff (10/1), Zealous (18/1), Grand Pianola (20/1), Fae The Port (20/1), Quiet Thunder (20/1), Sea Me Win (33/1), Fahad (50/1), International Lion (66/1)

This looks very competitive and ZEALOUS just gets the nod. He was unlucky not to win over C&D last month when just touched off, coming from a long way back having travelled well throughout. He is clearly in form and should make amends today. Iron Sheriff was also only just denied over C&D last time and he should go close. Jomont is down in class and could go well at a bigger price.
