Forecasts

Heart Of Honor (3/1), Flood Zone (10/3), Galactic Star (7/2), Shin Forever (4/1), Admire Daytona (9/1), Don In The Mood (10/1), Dragon (25/1), Queen Azteca (40/1), Rafid (100/1)

Verdict

SHIN FOREVER looked a natural on the dirt when second in the Saudi Derby in February and in the hope he sees this new trip out, is awarded the vote in favour of Flood Zone. Queen Azteca is also going the right way and will be finishing off better than most.

  1. Shin Forever4/1
  2. Flood Zone10/3
  3. Queen Azteca40/1
