Forecasts

Mehman (5/6), Maritime Rules (4/1), Primo Uomo (7/1), Jawwaal (7/1), Harmony Rose (8/1), Tai Sing Yeh (10/1), Laugh A Minute (22/1), Saliteh (50/1)

MEHMAN beat Primo Uomo snugly over C&D 3 weeks ago and he makes plenty of appeal in his bid to follow up. His old rival should be on the premises again and Tai Sing Yeh isn't one to rule out.
