Forecasts

Silvano's Song (7/4), Another Universe (7/2), Celtic Rush (4/1), One More Star (9/2), Hazlo Grande (15/2), Guy Alexander (14/1), Robert Browning (22/1), Gamer (28/1), Full Go (33/1), Stormy Winter (33/1), Party Punch (40/1), Eye Catching (100/1)

Verdict

ANOTHER UNIVERSE continues to run well and looks the one they all have to beat. Celtic Rush seems sure to be snapping at the heels of the selection, while Guy Alexander is another with the potential to be on the premises.
