Forecasts

Breeze Over (7/4), Nebraas (5/2), Arumugam (7/2), Black Thorn (7/2), Flying Bull (7/1), Mambo Come Tesio (14/1), Flying First Class (20/1), Positive Attitude (25/1), Coromandel (33/1)

FLYING BULL sets a solid standard if just as effective at this different trip. Black Thorn is tough to ignore where second place is concerned, while Nebraas may grab a bit more place money.
