Forecasts

Mr Fantastic (11/10), Jorge Alvares (9/4), Ziggy's Ariel (11/2), Mr Cool (11/1), Paulie Two Lockers (14/1), Force Of Honour (66/1), Vault Of Heaven (66/1), Max The Tiger (150/1)

JORGE ALVARES has made the placings on both outings to date and sets the standard on those efforts. Mr Cool has stepped forward with each run to date and he rates as the main danger on form, with Karl Burke's newcomer Mr Fantastic also making appeal on paper.
