Forecasts

Master Sergeant (7/4), Tattered Flag (5/2), Polyphonic (3/1), West Wind Blows (10/1), Great Empress (12/1), Aguaplano (20/1), Casi Crudo (40/1), Big Star (100/1), My Brother Jack (125/1)

POLYPHONIC made a promising start here recently and looks sure to improve for this longer trip, so he could be the way to go. Master Sergeant and Tattered Flag for the Gosden stable, and West Wind Blows, are notable newcomers and the betting could be revealing.
