Forecasts

Get Impressed (15/8), Underworld (9/4), Diani (7/2), King Pelles (7/1), Baratheon (11/1), Madison Valley (12/1), Cherry Ano (22/1), Strathclyde (25/1), Noble City (28/1)

DIANI improved greatly on his latest start after a below-par effort the time before and should make a bold show. Cherry Ano is probably the main threat, while Get Impressed is the tentative selection for third.
