Forecasts

Leslies Pathtofame (10/3), Grey Ocean (4/1), Imitation Game (9/2), Life Goes On (11/2), Running Freely (13/2), Miss Magician (8/1), Stevie Gee (9/1), Desert Pride (14/1), Woodstock Festival (16/1), Giambattista (16/1), Final Destiny (16/1), Monsoon Kenny (18/1), Spirit Of Dacha (40/1)

GREY OCEAN continues in form and has leading claims. Leslies Pathtofame could be the chief threat, while Imitation Game also commands consideration.
