Forecasts

Wild Hurricane (7/4), Perfect Balance (3/1), Al Jaddaf (4/1), Miami Joy (13/2), Chief Scribe (16/1), Fall Of Rome (22/1), Aldhaja (25/1), Kaifan (25/1), Private Signal (25/1), Arsaad (25/1), Mind Mapping (50/1)

MIAMI JOY has gone close off this mark on a few occasions before and looks the safest choice. Al Jaddaf and Perfect Balance renew rivalries but the former can come out on top this time, while Wild Hurricane can't be fully ruled out if taking to the surface.
