Forecasts

Dandy Fitz (3/1), Golden Rainbow (9/2), The Defiant (5/1), Jungle Run (6/1), Crypto Quest (6/1), Murbih (10/1), Rogue De Vega (11/1), Inspired Knowhow (12/1), Enchanted Night (12/1), Newyorkstateofmind (16/1), The Grey Lass (25/1), Watermelon Sugar (25/1), Lil Wade (40/1), Zola Power (50/1)

THE DEFIANT has been shaping up quite well from his reduced mark in recent weeks and this sharp 5f may be just what he needs to cash in. Dandy Fitz and Crypto Quest are a couple of potential threats.
