Forecasts

Sacred Falls (30/100), Alexi Boy (5/4), Canaria Queen (5/2), Eternal Sunshine (20/1), No Aw There (40/1), Holdemfoldem (125/1)

SACRED FALLS is the pick on form and gets the nod with this drop to 5f likely to suit. Canaria Queen has the form to have a say too if back on her A-game, while Eternal Sunshine is an interesting newcomer.
