Forecasts

Caitlyns Boy (5/2), Slim Jannie (5/1), Notorix (5/1), Victory Of Dubai (8/1), Beckoning Beauty (8/1), Jaquar Cat (10/1), Kuznetsov (10/1), Queen's Wood (11/1), Uncle Ticky Bird (14/1), Modern Magician (14/1), Russian Empire (18/1), Isn't It Bliss (50/1), Persica (50/1)

JAQUAR CAT could end his losing run. Kuznetsov is tough to ignore, while Slim Jannie may grab a bit more place money.
