Forecasts

Non Mollare (7/2), Inexplicable (4/1), Superstar Dj (9/2), Haseef (5/1), Hellavapace (8/1), Caracristi (8/1), Dew You Believe (9/1), Well Prepared (18/1), Storm Asset (20/1), Tacitus (28/1), Independent Beauty (28/1), Doonbeg Farmer (40/1), Dutch Admiral (66/1)

The return to the AW coupled with this slight drop back in trip looks ideal for SUPERSTAR DJ, so he's selected to double his career tally. Non Mollare and Well Prepared are solid opponents.
