Forecasts

Coase (10/3), Catch My Breath (9/2), One Step Beyond (5/1), Keep Right On (11/2), Evening Song (6/1), Cape Greco (9/1), Dutugamunu (10/1), Alicestar (10/1), Prince Rock (11/1), Mr Mac (11/1), It's A Love Thing (33/1), Colden's Passion (50/1)

A competitive opener, with several holding claims including CATCH MY BREATH. He only just failed to add to his tally over C&D last month and a repeat should see him in the shake up once more. Keep Right On, Mr Mac and Evening Song are just a trio of others to consider.
