Forecasts

Mr Master Starter (1/1), Proud Master (11/4), Majorca Palace (6/1), African Skyline (6/1), Desolate Road (9/1), Purple Powahouse (12/1), Sikhulu (14/1), Justaguything (18/1), Antigonus (28/1), Sir Pom (33/1), Gardenia (33/1), Ancient Epic (33/1)

PURPLE POWAHOUSE's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and he has a fair chance. Majorca Palace is the most likely danger, while Sikhulu shouldn't be discarded.
