Porque Te Vas⁵¹

Weight: 8-10| Age: 4

T: Mike Stewart J: M Yeni

Forecasts

Mojo Man (3/1), Bluff On Bluff (9/2), Benjamin (5/1), Gimmelightning (6/1), Porque Te Vas (6/1), Rod The Mod (7/1), Pacific Green (7/1), Different Face (15/2), Silver Crown (11/1), Barney Mcgrew (12/1)

PORQUE TE VAS is narrowly favoured all things considered but has next to no margin for error. Different Face is hard to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Bluff On Bluff commands a second look as well.
