Forecasts

Gun Carriage (2/1), Force And Valour (7/2), Gray Boss (9/2), Apotheosis (5/1), Zandvoort (17/2), Spy Kingdom (25/1), Moon Blade (25/1), Nyaar (28/1), Destructive (33/1), Arigatou Gozaimasu (33/1), Military Artist (33/1), Crown Estate (33/1), Laasudood (50/1), Laman Edelveys (50/1), Acacus (50/1), Street Mood (50/1), Furioso (66/1)

GRAY BOSS failed to justify market support last time out, but edges it as the selection once again. Apotheosis gets the nod among the remainder, while Force And Valour is not out of it for third place.
