Forecasts

Triple Venture (2/1), Bright Start (4/1), Hyde Park (9/2), Ranchero (9/1), Ibra Attack (9/1), Tahdeed (10/1), Tabarak (12/1), Falsehood (14/1), American Dancer (20/1), Anbar (20/1), Madkhal (25/1)

An open-looking race amongst the principals and it may pay to side with TAHDEED who's been running well round here of late. Ibra Attack may find this easier and could be the one to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Triple Venture can't be ruled out.
