Forecasts

Willow Express (6/4), Andi's Girl (7/2), Golden Pavilion (7/1), Officer In Command (8/1), Laughing William (8/1), Eiger Sanction (9/1), Al Bayreg (12/1), Futurewolff (16/1), Leao Alado (18/1), Universal Love (22/1)

WILLOW EXPRESS failed to justify market support last time out, but is worth giving another chance to leave that form behind. Al Bayreg is foremost among the dangers, while Eiger Sanction is the tentative selection for third.
