Forecasts

The Specialist (15/8), Legend Of Arthur (5/2), Fire Attack (11/2), Musical Score (7/1), Wolf Mountain (10/1), Waheed (12/1), Don't Cry For Me (22/1), Moonlight Trader (25/1), Zip Code (28/1), Ombudsman (66/1)

FIRE ATTACK improved greatly last time and is the one to catch. The Specialist seems the most likely to take advantage if the selection fails to deliver, while Musical Score edges it for third.
