Forecasts

Turjman (1/4), Menhaad (4/1), King Of Luck (9/1), Hobalsalam (10/1), Where's The Wayya (16/1), Pure Ambition (16/1), Megdam (20/1), Acclaim To Royalty (33/1)

TURJMAN has an excellent chance on the form of his recent win here and is difficult to oppose. King Of Luck was second to the selection last time and can chase him home again, while newcomer Menhaad can also make the frame.
