Forecasts

Caesura (11/8), Brandenburg (7/2), Capetown Affair (9/2), Rodriguez (6/1), Action Stations (12/1), Royal Point (12/1), Star Crusade (12/1), Bugsy Malone (16/1), A Thousand Tunes (16/1)

CAPETOWN AFFAIR's recent runs have had a lot to like about them and he should prove hard to catch. Action Stations can also play a leading part, while Brandenburg could go well too.
