Forecasts

Rafa's Boy (3/1), Ibhele (3/1), Lady Of Vix (7/2), Vision To Achieve (11/2), Ayuwi Yuwi (7/1), B Fiftytwo (17/2), Rugger Lover (10/1), Music Is Life (11/1), Ultra Quick (20/1), Trafalgar Square (22/1)

VISION TO ACHIEVE is in a good spell of form and just about gets the nod in this company. Lady Of Vix shouldn't be too far away either, while Ayuwi Yuwi edges things for third.
