Forecasts

Bad Desire (8/13), Duraji (10/3), Subjugate (7/1), Genoah (10/1), Man Of Action (14/1), Lord Raven (20/1), Inner Success (22/1), Sunyata (66/1), Mastastroque (80/1), Kool One (125/1), Noble Nation (125/1), Crypto Crash (125/1), Applejack Poet (200/1), You Played Well (200/1)

DURAJI is a full brother to the top-class Ghaiyyath and starts out in a winnable affair, so he's marginally preferred to Bad Desire, who is the clear pick of those with experience. Lord Raven is another one to consider with improvement on the cards.
