Forecasts

Annexation (5/2), Talbot (4/1), Ampeson (11/2), Super Over (13/2), Spilt Passion (10/1), Skontonovski (10/1), Zahee (14/1), Sister Lola (16/1), Adelisa (22/1), Dedillon (28/1), Godhead (50/1), Mummy Bear (66/1)

AMPESON continues to hold his form very well and it shouldn't be long before he resumes winning ways. Skontonovski and Zahee head the dangers.
