Forecasts

Power Ranger (3/1), Esquevelle (9/2), Integrate (9/2), Tanganga (11/2), Ramchandani Road (10/1), Smith And Wesson (11/1), Rattle Bag (16/1), Scottadito (18/1), Pinch Hit (20/1), Irrevocable Dream (20/1), Laetitia's Angel (22/1), Guapo (22/1), Magic Flower (25/1), Earl Of Cardigan (28/1), In The Ether (33/1), What A Tiger (40/1)

POWER RANGER couldn't justify market support last time, but is taken to make the most of this opening. Esquevelle is the choice for second, while Magic Flower shouldn't be ruled out.
