Forecasts

Ghost Of The Mambo (11/4), Qareeb (4/1), Seyaasi (11/2), Graffiti Master (6/1), Karnavaal (8/1), Anizzah (9/1), Mind Mapping (16/1), Grand Dubai (25/1)

SEYAASI proved a different model up in trip last time and looks the one to be on if reproducing that effort. Qareeb is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Ghost Of The Mambo also commands respect.
