Forecasts

Belo Horizonte (4/5), Al Tarfa (6/1), Kodi Noir (6/1), Hazel Bear (12/1), Sea The Buckthorn (14/1), Thawg (20/1), Nahwand (22/1), Edmund Ironside (25/1), Tenrai (25/1), Macho Mania (28/1), Charming Lily (40/1)

BELO HORIZONTE has been going the right way since the cheekpieces went on, scoring easily on turf at this venue 9 days ago, and he can land the hat-trick as he makes his handicap debut. Kodi Noir has returned to form on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger, ahead of Edmund Ironside.
