Forecasts

Kitaro Kich (2/1), Royal Dream (4/1), Obama Army (11/2), Jalapa (11/2), Roman Art (7/1), Larrsen (10/1), Mysterious Maestro (11/1), Abravaggio (16/1), Melwood Boy (25/1), Foinix (40/1), Third Batch (50/1), Dee's Dream (66/1), House Of Dragons (80/1), Earthy Mangold (150/1)

OBAMA ARMY is in better form than most and can resume winning ways if keeping up the good work back on AW. Mysterious Maestro is worth considering back in calmer waters in new headgear, while Juddmonte's Jalapa is predictably bred to be a lot better than a class 6 handicapper and could do a lot better now.
