Forecasts

Rawaasi (9/4), Only In Jakarta (10/3), Kings Merchant (4/1), Jungle Jim (8/1), Nezeeh (11/1), Mudhafar (11/1), Firing Squad (12/1), Eco Power Boy (18/1), Brummell (20/1), Starlight Stanley (50/1), Joan's Angel (66/1), Glory Hyde (150/1), Sassy Glory (200/1), Secret Command (300/1)

ONLY IN JAKARTA finished strongly when runner-up over C&D last time and he should improve again with the benefit of that second outing, so he's marginally preferred to Jungle Jim, who fits a similar mould. Firing Squad is the pick of the newcomers.
