Forecasts

Home Of The Brave (15/8), Total Surrender (9/4), Millahue (4/1), Brave Viking (9/2), Destiny Of Souls (11/2), Supreme Dance (12/1), Bey Suyay (12/1), Twin Turbo (20/1), Now I Got You (20/1)

HOME OF THE BRAVE failed to justify market expectations last time out, but looks the one to be with once again. Bey Suyay is fancied as the best alternative, while Millahue might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
