Forecasts

Ozark (2/1), Mela Strength (3/1), Azzurri (5/1), Beer With The Boys (5/1), Hang Out The Stars (17/2), State Capitol (9/1), Etoilefillante (10/1), Avignon (33/1)

Verdict

STATE CAPITOL let her backers down last time, but edges it as the selection once again. Mela Strength looks the likeliest to finish second, while Ozark edges things for third.

  1. State Capitol9/1
