Forecasts

Arverni Warrior (4/1), Picture The Moment (9/2), Great Melody (13/2), Bethel (15/2), Jaquar Cat (9/1), Captain Morne (12/1), Pedro (14/1), Jackson Misissippi (14/1), Toureiro (16/1), Jean Paul (16/1), El Romiachi (18/1), Modern Magician (18/1), Roger The Dodger (20/1), My Ami Beach (20/1), Globetonic (22/1), Ivalo's Prince (28/1), Storm Chaser (33/1), Miss United States (66/1), Russian Empire (80/1)

JAQUAR CAT is running creditably and is the one they all have to beat. Toureiro can get the better of the others for second, while Captain Morne can't be ruled out of it either.
