Forecasts

Black Egret (6/4), Fish Eagle (2/1), Magic Prince (7/2), Nazare (7/1), Giocatore (8/1), Privilege (8/1), Full Go (14/1), Bob's Your Uncle (18/1), Hazlo Grande (20/1), Letsgoglobal (28/1), Labrausco (33/1), Northern King (33/1), Volte Face (66/1), Blyde River (66/1)

FISH EAGLE's recent runs have been likeable on the whole and he is probably the one to beat. Black Egret could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Magic Prince can scrap it out for third.
