Forecasts

Kats Bob (10/3), True Blue Moon (10/3), Rose Bandit (6/1), Jordan Electrics (13/2), Classy Al (15/2), Glorious Rio (15/2), Kilconquhar (10/1), Somewhere Secret (14/1), The Gloaming (16/1), Pivoting (25/1), Storm Master (80/1), Aikido (100/1)

Slight preference is for KATS BOB, who scored here last month and remains on a workable mark. Rose Bandit and True Blue Moon should also be in the mix.
