Forecasts

Line Of Sunshine (7/2), Green Team Station (4/1), Fabrizio (6/1), Durandal (7/1), Bridesman (17/2), Mezzotinto (17/2), Bawadi Spirit (10/1), Dignity Joy (14/1), Desert Destination (18/1), Sheringham (20/1), Vedeno (22/1), Khabaab (28/1), Cherokee Mist (28/1), El Baareq (33/1)

GREEN TEAM STATION made a promising debut in a race that has worked out well and could be difficult to catch. Bridesman could well emerge as the chief threat, while Desert Destination has a shout for a share of the minor money.
