Forecasts

Texas Red (2/1), Stormy Seas (11/4), Umthombo Wolwazi (4/1), Life Goes On (5/1), Bronco Blitz (11/2), Super Agra (8/1), Arbitrator (10/1), Successful Secret (10/1), West Coast Lover (16/1)

STORMY SEAS couldn't justify market support on his most recent run, but is worth giving another chance to leave that form behind. Umthombo Wolwazi could provide the main threat, while Texas Red also demands scrutiny.
