Forecasts

Manobo (4/9), Rodrigo Diaz (8/1), Global Heat (9/1), Dubious Affair (12/1), Dancing King (12/1), Pablo Escobarr (18/1), Majestic Mambo (33/1), Mekong (33/1), Dubai Horizon (40/1), East Asia (66/1), Island Brave (66/1), Enemy (80/1), New Trails (80/1), Taqareer (125/1), Mind Mapping (125/1)

Verdict

The unbeaten MANOBO is very much the type to make a better 4yo and this represents a drop in grade, so he's an obvious choice to make it 5 from 5 on reappearance. The others will probably have to improve to overhaul the selection, but the likes of Rodrigo Diaz and Dubious Affair are unlikely to be far away.
