Forecasts

Open Highway (10/3), Willow Express (7/2), Pocket Watch (9/2), Run For Cover (13/2), Flamboyant Flyer (9/1), Hazlo Grande (9/1), Radu (9/1), Halberdier (10/1), Southern Blaze (12/1), Priceless (22/1), Call Me Master (33/1)

Verdict

WILLOW EXPRESS continues to operate somewhere near current best and seems the one they have to beat. Southern Blaze makes most appeal among the remainder, while Open Highway also demands scrutiny.

  1. Willow Express7/2
  2. Southern Blaze12/1
  3. Open Highway10/3
