Forecasts

Express Route (5/4), Yurman (11/8), Island Rule (8/1), Majhoola (12/1), Leadership (14/1), Mass Media (25/1), Flamewood (33/1), Take It Thunder (80/1)

YURMAN brings a good level of form to the tabel and looks the one to beat. Express Route could be the chief danger, while Mass Media also needs a closer look.
