Forecasts

Katsu (7/4), Tothemoonandback (10/3), Exceeder (7/1), Miss New York (7/1), Gentleman Joe (8/1), Twice The Master (10/1), Big Poppa (14/1), Mothership (16/1), Keep Shining (18/1), Quatermain (20/1), Saint Silas (33/1), Guy Alexander (40/1)

MISS NEW YORK's recent efforts have had a lot to like about them and she will probably take the beating. Twice The Master appeals most of the remainder, while Exceeder is another with a place chance too.
