Forecasts

King Of The Gauls (9/4), Teflon Man (5/2), Troppo Veloce (5/1), Kupholiwe (13/2), Except Temptation (7/1), Plaza Accord (11/1), Common Grounds (12/1), Longsword (12/1), Le Premiere (18/1), Romance In Rome (25/1)

TROPPO VELOCE was the beaten market choice last time out, but edges it as the selection once again. Except Temptation can also play a leading part, while Le Premiere shouldn't be discarded.
