Forecasts

Mercantour (4/6), Silver Falcon (4/1), Bush Tracker (7/1), Golden Link (8/1), Gimme's Laddie (9/1), Firealley (28/1), Slings And Arrows (28/1), Destiny's Angel (28/1), No Place Like Home (33/1)

Verdict

MERCANTOUR can give all these something to think about but has next to no margin for error. Golden Link chief among the rest shouldn't be underestimated, while Firealley also requires a second look.

  1. Mercantour4/6
  2. Golden Link8/1
