Forecasts

Monbeg Park (4/9), Arctic Bresil (13/8), Kalanisi Star (11/2), Serious Operator (17/2), Kitsilano (9/1), Not A Light (12/1)

After joining top connections for a hefty sum, ARCTIC BRESIL seems like the obvious answer to this fascinating bumper for pointers. Kitsilano and Monbeg both scored impressively between the flags last time and represent shrewd operations, so it's unlikely to be all plain sailing for the selection.
