Forecasts

Hightimeyouwon (5/4), Barbapapa (16/5), Punk Poet (7/1), Gobi Star (8/1), Eastern Wind (10/1), Benavente (12/1), Tai Sing Yeh (14/1), Royal Pippen (16/1), Circles (20/1), Boadicea Belle (20/1), Set Point (22/1), Stormie Outlook (25/1), Invincible Larne (50/1)

The handicapper has been quick to relent regarding TAI SING YEH and given his AW record, hopes are high on this surface. Barbapapa is a low-mileage 4-y-o going the right way so he's a threat, along with Hightimeyouwon.
