Forecasts

Beer With The Boys (2/1), Back For More (10/3), Flash Lightning (4/1), Dumisani (11/2), Blue Palace (7/1), Strange Magic (7/1), Always Shining (16/1), Global Drumbeat (16/1), Anchor Man (33/1)

BACK FOR MORE is in a good vein of form and just about gets the nod in this company. Strange Magic seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Flash Lightning may emerge best of the remainder.
