Forecasts

Master Forester (13/8), Golden Pavilion (2/1), Dancingtothelight (11/4), Mr Belvedere (8/1), Dubai Hills (9/1), Sound Of The Sea (11/1), Timbavati River (20/1), French Impact (33/1), Man Of Courage (33/1), Lt Alexander (50/1), Pomo's Big Spender (100/1)

MASTER FORESTER failed to justify market support on his most recent run, but edges it as the selection once again. Golden Pavilion shouldn't be discarded.
