Forecasts

Chandigah (2/1), Ghaaleb (10/3), Arabic Song (6/1), Home From Home (15/2), Condor Pasa (9/1), Al Arbed (12/1), Sadik (20/1), Mijbil (22/1), Alajdl (25/1), Smart System (25/1), Awesome Spirit Gal (28/1), Ironside (28/1), State Event (33/1), Dubawi Devil (33/1), Prima Summer (40/1), Special Cigar (50/1)

CHANDIGAH stands out on form and is very much the one to aim at in a maiden lacking depth. Arabic Song is an interesting debutante and makes the shortlist, while Awesome Spirit Gal may find enough improvement to reach the minor places.
