Forecasts

Peter The Great (6/4), Sharpcliff (5/2), Diderot (5/1), Imperial Sands (17/2), Power Of States (10/1), Ace Rothstein (14/1)

SHARPCLIFF picked up where he left off in 2021 when scoring over C&D last month and remains fairly treated. He can continue his winning run. Peter The Great rates the principal danger.
