Forecasts

Romeo's Magic (7/2), San Quintin (4/1), Arlington Action (4/1), The Brief (9/2), Mingshi (5/1), Pottinger (13/2), My True North (16/1), Kayla's Dream (20/1), So Long Spring (20/1), August Leaves (22/1), Orus Apollo (22/1), Fort Alado (80/1)

MY TRUE NORTH has a very good chance on form and has an obvious chance. Romeo's Magic could be the answer to second spot, while August Leaves edges it so far as third place is concerned.
