Forecasts

Old News (9/4), Novak (4/1), Parallel World (9/2), Anif (6/1), Boafo Boy (8/1), Abnaa (9/1), Pallas Lord (12/1), Teruntum Star (66/1)

NOVAK has acquitted himself well here in recent starts and remains fairly treated. He can get back on the scoreboard. Parallel World and Anif rate the principal dangers.
