Forecasts

God Bless America (3/1), Prefer The Sister (4/1), Volto Di Medusa (9/2), Oscar Mike (13/2), Fortnum (8/1), Happy Chandler (9/1), Epidavros (12/1), Enzo Maresca (22/1), Airgunner (25/1), Frontpagemoos (25/1), Voix De Bocelli (33/1), Tomorrow Day (40/1)

GOD BLESS AMERICA might need luck from stall 12 but he's clearly got races in him and is chanced in a tricky low-grade maiden. Prefer The Sister is feared, while Oscar Mike and Airgunner are a couple of interesting newcomers.
