Forecasts

Way Of Stars (2/1), Scarlet Moon (5/2), Infantry Officer (9/2), Patrol (7/1), Ray Gun (8/1), Crackalackin (14/1), Zabeel Rain (40/1)

INFANTRY OFFICER will go on improving and can land the hat-trick back up in trip. Scarlet Moon can leave his 2-y-o form behind now handicapping upped markedly in distance and he's very interesting, with similar comments applying to Andrew Balding's Way of Stars.
