Forecasts

Coin Spinner (9/4), Rulership (7/2), Pray For Rain (11/2), Good Traveller (7/1), Tchaikovsky (15/2), Vaseem (11/1), Captain Bombshell (12/1), Faustino (14/1), Cartel Captain (14/1), Barzalona (25/1), Ishnana (33/1), Ultra Magnus (33/1)

VASEEM has been hard to fault in recent starts and sets the bar. Coin Spinner is the rational second choice, while Pray For Rain also commands scrutiny.
