Forecasts

Rowdy Yeats (9/4), Cercene (5/2), Bodhi Bear (11/2), Ben Hur (13/2), Green Brothers (10/1), Dark Ace (11/1), Gangsta Man (12/1), Temperance (14/1), Michonne (16/1), Scarlet Widow (28/1), The Angelic Doctor (28/1), Good No Nay Never (33/1), Reponse Finale (40/1), Amavasya (50/1), Searcog (66/1), Cala Bonita (80/1)

It was really encouraging how much ROWDY YEATS showed on debut over 5f and with this trip sure to suit on breeding, he seems a sure-fire improver. Cercene and Temperance are a couple of potential improvers.
