Forecasts

Mujid (10/3), Thrave (4/1), Villalobos (9/2), Starry Eyes (11/2), Centerstage (7/1), Adace (9/1), Kumasi (9/1), Blue Curacao (16/1), Into The Spotlight (66/1)

In a contest where few boast compelling claims the most solid option could be VILLALOBOS as he is at least consistent. Kumasi won over C&D off a lay-off last year so his 10-month absence since isn't a concern and he's second choice ahead of Starry Eyes, the mount of Tom Marquand.
