Forecasts

Open Mind (4/6), Western Symphony (5/1), Ranchero (8/1), Boston George (16/1), Almoreb (18/1), Manahir (18/1), Bullace (20/1), Way of Wisdom (25/1), Aquaman (28/1), Invincibly (33/1), National Bank (33/1)

Verdict

OPEN MIND has a good opportunity to follow up from last time but there will be several in with a shout should the selection underperform. Ranchero could prove be the sternest threat, while Western Symphony is the third candidate for the three.

  1. Open Mind4/6
  2. Ranchero8/1
  3. Western Symphony5/1
