Forecasts

Red Bomber (11/4), Tyrconnell (11/4), Mia Moo (11/4), Mount Darwin (15/2), Free Movement (8/1), Biofarmer (17/2), Copper Mist (10/1), Love Tap (28/1), Light Of Day (40/1), Ode To The Ocean (50/1)

MIA MOO is in a good run of form and will probably take the beating. Red Bomber shouldn't be too far away either, while Biofarmer also merits respect.
