Forecasts

Boogiefied (9/4), Veldskoen (5/2), Le Legionnaire (4/1), Paratrooper (8/1), Fort Red (8/1), Night Tiger (11/1), Winter Pearl (12/1), Persistance (14/1), Benjamin (16/1), Lunch Money (18/1), Tough Terrain (20/1), Final Move (28/1), Purple And Green (28/1), Bright Blue Sky (33/1)

LE LEGIONNAIRE looked a cut above the usual newcomer when making a winning debut and is the one to catch. Boogiefied is second choice, while Tough Terrain also can't be ruled out.
