Forecasts

My Best Shot (10/11), Prophet (9/2), Euphoric (5/1), Purple Operator (15/2), Valerias Dream (9/1), Travel Master (16/1), Globetonic (20/1), Path Of Choice (22/1)

Verdict

MY BEST SHOT is running consistently well right now and will be difficult to catch. Travel Master is most likely the toughest opposition, while Purple Operator is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
