Forecasts

Brenden James (5/2), Equestrian Affair (3/1), Secret Is Ours (4/1), Master Of Africa (9/2), Ellis Island (8/1), El Romiachi (17/2), King's Crusade (10/1), Dawn Of A New Era (10/1), Humble Tune (12/1), Alingalonga (18/1), Tozzetti (20/1), Silver Tycoon (25/1), Alado's Pride (28/1), Ushuaia (40/1)

BRENDEN JAMES has largely been running well and just about gets the nod in this field. El Romiachi can get the better of the remainder for second, while Dawn Of A New Era is also in the running for some place money at least.
