Forecasts

Achnamara (15/8), Charles St (9/4), Animato (7/2), Captain Kane (7/2), Franz (7/2)

ACHNAMARA's last couple of runs have been excusable and, back down in grade, he's worth a chance to get back on the up. All of the others have a chance, but the reliable Charles St could be the main threat, with Animato likely to play a part.
