Forecasts

Laa Baas (11/8), Al Arbed (15/8), Shanaghai City (5/1), Chief Of Navy (15/2), Batraan (18/1), Desert Frost (25/1), Mystery Moon (33/1)

AL ARBED registered a personal best last time and appeals the most making the switch to handicaps. Shanaghai City can come out best of the rest, while Laa Baas merits respect also.
