Forecasts

Victoriano (11/8), Social City (13/2), La Belle Vie (13/2), Huscari (15/2), Fighting Poet (15/2), Chef De Troupe (12/1), Kitten's Dream (12/1), Global Wonder (22/1), She's Out Of Reach (33/1), Good Time Ahead (40/1)

VICTORIANO found first-time blinkers having a positive effect when second here 13 days ago and, if the headgear works again, he could go one better under a promising claimer. Social City looks a danger and La Belle Vie has been showing more positive signs of late.
