Forecasts

Mvelelo (7/2), Nocturnal Flight (9/2), Jazz Festival (5/1), Master Of Destiny (13/2), Go Grayson Go (7/1), Jp's Palace (8/1), Famous Warrior (10/1), Ralph The Rascal (16/1), Palermo (16/1), Down By The River (18/1), Arverni King (22/1), Send Me (25/1), Rodriguez (33/1), Papa C (50/1), Night Rocker (66/1)

NOCTURNAL FLIGHT continues to operate somewhere near current peak and is just about the pick in this line up. Ralph The Rascal is probably the chief opposition, while Mvelelo can't be ruled out of things either.
