Forecasts

Jaimala (7/4), Elusive Swann (3/1), Romeo's Magic (7/2), Brenden James (6/1), Afraad (8/1), Qunetra (12/1), Leshawes (16/1), My True North (22/1)

MY TRUE NORTH is running well enough to take this but it is competitive. Brenden James is most likely the main danger, while Afraad is not out of it where the places are concerned.
