Forecasts

War In Heaven (8/11), Crownthorpe (5/1), Wait For The Lord (11/2), Amaysmont (6/1), Hopeman Harbour (7/1), Alternativa (8/1), Lechro (100/1)

WAR IN HEAVEN is a much-improved performer since forcing tactics have been employed and he's fancied to land the hat-trick at the possible expense of Hopeman Harbour, who also made all last time. Wait For The Lord also warrants a favourable mention down in grade on just her second start for a new stable.
