Forecasts

Legal Thriller (5/2), Cruzador (3/1), Guarding The Wall (6/1), Clap Of Thunder (13/2), Aquila Gold (7/1), Potent Captain (9/1), War Launch (10/1), Master Forester (16/1), William The First (22/1), Absolu Noir (22/1), Great Times (22/1), Duke Of Orange (28/1), Flash Lightning (33/1), Coral Creek (33/1), Resurgence (40/1), Mister Whistle (99/1)

MASTER FORESTER was much improved compared with previous run in his latest race and is a major player. Cruzador is the most realistic option for second, while Coral Creek can make the first three as well.
