Forecasts

Furious Queen (2/1), Barney Mcgrew (9/4), Rattlesnake (5/1), In The Green Zone (6/1), Rafa Bay (15/2), Casino Ace (14/1), Peace Of Mind (20/1), Maneki Neko (20/1), Across The Bow (22/1), United Nation (66/1)

IN THE GREEN ZONE has been in decent form of late and is just about the pick in this company. Furious Queen is the percentage call to finish second, while Peace Of Mind is another with the potential to be on the premises.
