Forecasts

Pistol Pete (4/1), Cosmic Star (9/2), Truth (5/1), Whistle The Tune (6/1), William Robertson (7/1), Taxi To The Moon (8/1), Karate Kid (10/1), Luhamba Phambili (12/1), Little Ballerina (14/1), Chieftain (16/1), Sheldon (20/1), Elegant Ice (25/1), Magic Tattoo (33/1), Mover And Shaker (50/1), Jerusalema Rain (66/1), Dreamland (66/1)

Verdict

TAXI TO THE MOON left his preceding form behind last time and is the one to catch. Karate Kid could be the main danger, while Chieftain could also figure.
