Forecasts

Buffalo Storm Cody (3/10), Karate Kid (13/2), Chieftain (13/2), Taxi To The Moon (7/1), William Robertson (14/1), Dreamland (20/1), Mover And Shaker (22/1), Magic Tattoo (40/1), Radicchio (40/1)

BUFFALO STORM CODY improved significantly last time and has strong claims. Taxi To The Moon can emerge second best, while Karate Kid also seems unlikely to be far away.
