Forecasts

Picture The Moment (3/1), Global Beat (9/2), Fiery Duke (5/1), Track Commander (6/1), Lang's Power (8/1), Uncle George (17/2), Pedro (9/1), Callmemrgreenlight (12/1), El Romiachi (14/1), Izuizorizuaint (25/1), Humble Tune (28/1), One Shot Wonder (33/1), At The Opera (40/1), Displace Time (100/1)

GLOBAL BEAT was back to his best on his most recent run and sets the bar high. Track Commander could provide the main opposition, while Picture The Moment also commands scrutiny.
