Forecasts

Magic Gem (4/7), Hachert (5/2), Divine Connection (11/2), Seeking Perfection (6/1), Camacho Man (16/1), Eljaytee (40/1), Ocean Wilde (66/1), Zahirah (100/1), Cativo Ragazzo (200/1)

MAGIC GEM has got his act together since switched to the AW and this looks like a good piece of placing by connections in a very ordinary contest. Seeking Perfection failed to land a punt starting out for his new yard recently but he remains of interest, with Hachert another to consider.
