Forecasts

Parker Getrix (5/4), Global Approach (3/1), Chasing Mavericks (3/1), Triple Decker (5/1), Copernicus (10/1), Montbleu (14/1), Ra'ed (25/1), Luke Skywalker (28/1), Pomodoro Hills (40/1), The Merciful (66/1), The Great Romantic (80/1)

PARKER GETRIX seems the principal player after good placed efforts here recently. Global Approach is also in the running for some place money at least.
