Forecasts

Imprison (11/4), Desert Destination (5/1), Rayig (11/2), King Of The Nite (6/1), Will To Win (8/1), Dignity Joy (17/2), Zaammit (17/2), Exceedingly Regal (9/1), Batraan (12/1), Thammin (20/1), Act Of Reason (50/1), Harvest Gold (50/1), Heraldic (50/1)

IMPRISON has been knocking on the door of late and is the token selection in a trappy race. Rayig will seemingly provide most resistance, while Dignity Joy is another to bear in mind.
