Forecasts

Silver Celebrity (11/4), Wangan Midnight (9/2), Homer Fidget (9/2), Jaspero (11/2), Baltic Beat (13/2), The Sands (15/2), Doppio Oro (8/1), My Boy Reecey (11/1), Young Nelson (12/1), Jaquar Cat (12/1), Purple Frontier (25/1), Seattle Beat (28/1), The Gaul (33/1), Swanking (40/1), Rock With Me (80/1)

THE SANDS should be in the mix but this is very competitive. Baltic Beat could be the one to profit if the selection underperforms, while Homer Fidget also looks good for a place.
