Forecasts

Midnight Sands (15/8), Panadol (5/2), Thegreatcollection (11/2), Golden Goal (9/1), Gentile Bellini (10/1), Tuz (16/1), Eastern World (20/1), Dessman (22/1), Alkaamel (22/1), Ajuste Fiscal (33/1), Saqqara King (33/1)

A very interesting listed race with most making their reappearance. The unexposed PANADOL is the tentative selection after making such a bright impression last season. Thegreatcollection can chase him home, while Midnight Sands shouldn't be far away either.
