Forecasts

Pacaya (8/13), Joy And Peace (9/2), Fairy Knight (13/2), Cherry Ano (15/2), Pyromaniac (14/1), Zatara Magic (16/1), Firealley (20/1), Bush Tracker (20/1), Street Art (28/1), Mount Anderson (40/1), Brenden James (40/1), Official Secret (50/1)

Verdict

PACAYA took a large step forward last time and will take all the beating. Joy And Peace could emerge as the main danger, while Cherry Ano merits respect as well.
