Forecasts

Dicko The Legend (7/2), Nogo's Dream (4/1), Charlie Mason (6/1), Blue Force (6/1), One More Dream (9/1), Honour Your Dreams (11/1), Aces Wild (11/1), Maharajas Express (16/1), Angle Land (16/1), Merrimack (20/1), Secret Handsheikh (40/1), Dapperling (40/1)

This looks open but BLUE FORCE chases a hat-trick and well drawn to attack from stall 2, he could be the answer. Maharajas Express and Merrimack haven't fared as well in the draw department, so Charlie Mason and Aces Wild could be the main threats.
