Forecasts

Suryavarman (2/1), Power Ranger (3/1), Cosmic Star (5/1), Defender Of Rights (13/2), Laetitia's Angel (15/2), Fort Lauderdale (10/1), Letsdoit (12/1), Mescal (14/1), San Marzano (33/1), Corapi (33/1), Ballon D'or (50/1)

COSMIC STAR headed the market on his latest run, but still makes most appeal again. Fort Lauderdale could emerge as the chief threat, while Defender Of Rights is not out of it for third place.
