Forecasts

Mhlabeni (10/3), Vida Futura (10/3), Gold Rock (11/2), Homer Fidget (7/1), Alado's Pride (15/2), Morse (12/1), Dirty Martini (12/1), Imperious Duke (14/1), Jack And Ginger (16/1), A Thousand Tunes (16/1), Daleel (16/1), Young Nelson (16/1), Twice To Heaven (18/1), Irish Sea (18/1), Fat Cigar (20/1), Essos (25/1), Savannah Buddy (33/1)

VIDA FUTURA quickly put a below-par run aside last time and has obvious claims. Young Nelson is probably the main danger, while Dirty Martini is another worth looking at.
