Forecasts

So Grateful (2/1), Khabib (9/2), Melody King (9/2), Street Life (6/1), Soul Seeker (6/1), Lipsink (9/1), Ehrmann (10/1), Marnie James (11/1), Lilkian (12/1), Astro Jakk (50/1)

SO GRATEFUL is thriving at the moment and can bag his fourth success at this venue. Soul Seeker and Melody King rate the principal dangers.
