Forecasts

Soho Star (9/2), African Skyline (5/1), Icy Blast (5/1), Tara Star (5/1), Position Of Power (6/1), Super Fast (6/1), Diani (10/1), Good Traveller (14/1), Narina Trogon (14/1), Magic Surprise (33/1), Hithemhardsunshine (33/1)

Verdict

POSITION OF POWER looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Soho Star is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Icy Blast looks third best.
