Forecasts

Key Worker (11/4), Free In Seattle (7/2), Flamboyant Flyer (9/2), Stormy Sunday (5/1), Have A Party (5/1), Play With Fire (13/2), Teo Torriatte (7/1), Cartagena (14/1), Silky Jet (16/1), Ruby Rebel (16/1), Eye Catching (66/1)

FREE IN SEATTLE is easily the quickest in this line up and will be hard to beat. Cartagena could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while Play With Fire is another with the potential to be on the premises.
