Forecasts

Silver Stardust (6/4), American Dream (4/1), Almighwaar (15/2), Essos (8/1), Alado's Pride (17/2), Crafty Heart (10/1), Mingshi (12/1), My Boy Reecey (14/1), Douglas Devastator (18/1), Prince Of Heaven (28/1), One Shot Wonder (28/1), Soft Touch (33/1)

ALADO'S PRIDE is running well enough to merit close consideration but can't afford for much to go wrong. American Dream could be the answer to second spot, while Crafty Heart is another likely to be on the premises.
