Forecasts

Fire Group (5/2), Brontology (7/2), Hero D'oro (7/2), Endifaa (13/2), Ode To Duty (7/1), Al Watan (7/1), Poet's Mind (16/1), Future Vision (20/1), Knight's Town (66/1), Rosado (80/1)

A chance is taken on BRONTOLOGY who has made a promising start to his career and can make it third time lucky. Fire Group and Endifaa have some strong form to their names but are looking exposed. They can fight out the placing, however.
