Forecasts

Happy Wanderer (11/4), Mac Hardy (11/4), Buster Keaton (7/2), Cotton Ron (4/1), Brave Voyager (11/2), Mount Meru (11/2), Fire Tonic (6/1), El Draque (12/1)

BUSTER KEATON continues to run creditably and is just about the pick in this line up. Mount Meru could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Mac Hardy can't be ruled out of it either.
