Forecasts

Napoleon (15/8), Eagle Alley (11/2), Sage King (6/1), The Chosen One (15/2), Luthuli (8/1), Libeccio (12/1), Carnelo (14/1), Batik (16/1), Gilda Gray (22/1), Corapi (22/1), Coromandel (22/1), Hotchiwitchi (25/1), Barmaid (25/1), Devilish Dancer (28/1), Samthewiseman (28/1)

Verdict

EAGLE ALLEY is operating at a good level lately and just about gets the nod in this field. Batik is probably the main threat, while Gilda Gray also commands respect.
