Forecasts

Jet Mirage (9/4), Rock Garden (4/1), The Black Manx (7/1), Masterful (8/1), Drive By (8/1), Son Of Zeus (8/1), Great Guy (9/1), Red Eight (9/1), Bumrah (14/1), Red Bishop (16/1), James Gordon Jnr (50/1)

MASTERFUL continues to run well and just about sets the standard. Son Of Zeus is just about preferred for second, while Red Bishop might well have a say as well.
