Forecasts

Mehman (7/2), Shoot To Kill (4/1), Little Empire (13/2), Nikki Swango (13/2), Clarita (8/1), Blanc De Noir (10/1), Star Mind (12/1), Port Louis (12/1), The Cola Brasil (12/1), Clonmacash (14/1), Skontonovski (14/1), The Bear Trap (20/1), Ivasecret (20/1), Catherine Chroi (25/1), New Definition (40/1), Rampage (50/1), Brains (50/1)

MEHMAN is on a good mark and shaped like he's ready to capitalise when a staying-on third here recently, so he's fancied from a good draw. Skontonovski and Little Empire should also be involved.
