Forecasts

I Belong (5/2), Care Taker (11/4), Chestnut Bomber (11/4), Zip Code (7/2), Tyson The Brave (6/1), Dr Faustus (6/1), Dolcezza (12/1), It's Her Way (12/1), Sovereigns Call (14/1), Spring Palace (33/1)

I BELONG has been operating at a solid level lately and will probably take the beating. Chestnut Bomber is probably the chief opposition, while Zip Code also demands scrutiny.
