Forecasts

Quest For Fun (5/2), Eye Of Dubai (4/1), Baldomero (15/2), Tropical Island (9/1), Fortamour (10/1), Makanah (10/1), Baradar (11/1), Tacarib Bay (11/1), Dakota Gold (12/1), Secret Guest (18/1), The Turpinator (18/1), Magical Spirit (33/1)

BALDOMERO got back on the scoreboard at Doncaster earlier this month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He may be able to follow up. Tacarib Bay and Eye of Dubai head the list of dangers.
