Forecasts

Zeus (4/6), Juan Carlos (7/1), Zuzan (10/1), Eskimo Pie (10/1), Twin Turbo (11/1), Time Spirit (14/1), Category Four (18/1), Secret Link (18/1), Fsquadron (20/1), Romeo's Magic (22/1), Ideal Jet (22/1), My Master (40/1)

ZEUS is selected rather gingerly but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Time Spirit would be our next pick, while Ideal Jet is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
