Forecasts

Fox Tal (6/4), Dark Pine (7/4), Kenzai Warrior (9/4)

DARK PINE in theory has the most to do on official ratings but he had a good strike rate last year and has a good record at this venue. He makes most appeal in such a small field. Fox Tal has the ability to win this comfortably but he is completely untrustworthy in terms of his attitude.
