Forecasts

Connoisseur (7/4), The Mikado (7/2), Riccardo (4/1), Jazz Festival (5/1), Shotgun Willie (13/2), Galaxy Explorer (12/1), Power Star (20/1), Famous And Rich (28/1), Mount Meru (40/1)

Verdict

GALAXY EXPLORER has put together a solid series of efforts lately and just about gets the nod in this field. The Mikado seems the principal threat, while Power Star also seems unlikely to be far away.

  1. Galaxy Explorer12/1
  2. The Mikado7/2
  3. Power Star20/1
