Forecasts

Paratrooper (3/1), Arctic Wizard (10/3), Please Be True (11/2), Cork Bay (7/1), Firingonallengines (10/1), Counter Attack (10/1), Tough Terrain (14/1), Golden Destiny (14/1), Augusta Blue (16/1), Street Outlaw (20/1), Sun Dazed (22/1), Bank Street (25/1), Indecent Proposal (28/1), Worldly (40/1), Trippi's Silk (40/1), Twentytwentyvision (40/1), Diamond Rock (40/1), Billy Cool (50/1)

COUNTER ATTACK couldn't send favourite backers home happy last time, but edges it as the selection once again. Firingonallengines may be the best bet for second, while Paratrooper also looks good for a place.
