Forecasts

Heavenly Being (10/11), Emperor Of Rome (2/1), Beano Power (4/1), Mama Bear (4/1), Valentino Express (11/2), Answer Me Nay (15/2), Hasshoffman (14/1), Babyface (25/1), Zippy Rocket (25/1), Sophia Klimt (150/1)

EMPEROR OF ROME is the clear form pick and, having shaped as if amiss 4 days ago, he's well worth a chance to get back on track and take this at the likely expense of Heavenly Being. Beano Power is also worthy of consideration for all that she'll need to improve.
