Forecasts

On The Road Again (5/2), Heathcliff (4/1), Swift Action (9/2), Beerenberg (15/2), Superior Leader (8/1), Mr Frostie (8/1), Master Of Africa (14/1), Capitaine Maurice (16/1), Persistance (16/1), The Heat Is On (22/1), Castle Time (22/1), Birdie And Bogie (33/1), Power Grid (33/1), Negreanu (50/1)

HEATHCLIFF continues to run well and seems the one they have to beat. Beerenberg is another who could have a big say in matters, while Capitaine Maurice merits respect also.
