Forecasts

Artic Tune (7/2), Mr Gonzales (4/1), Ideal Act (5/1), Fateful Day (13/2), Macara (8/1), Mr Pigalle (9/1), Ralph The Rascal (11/1), Full Blast (14/1), Passage Of Power (14/1), Silver Falcon (16/1), Spring High (22/1), Golden Spoon (25/1), Prince Of Taranto (28/1), Beechurst (33/1), Antigonus (40/1)

GOLDEN SPOON has run several good races recently and sets the bar, albeit not too high. Macara ought to go well too, while Ralph The Rascal shouldn't be far away.
