Forecasts

Mr Bodacious (7/2), Arturo (7/2), Sirnihaallongsword (4/1), Fiery Duke (9/2), Daleel (5/1), Cool Runnings (12/1), Razor Red (14/1), Vandalise (18/1), Eclair (20/1), Jaquar Cat (20/1), Spanish Fort (25/1), Psychedelic Eric (28/1)

ARTURO is running well enough to merit close consideration but has little margin for error. Vandalise makes most appeal of the rest, while Mr Bodacious is prominent among those with minor place claims.
