Forecasts

Indian Springs (2/7), Righthere Rightnow (12/1), Yotarid (18/1), Welcome Dream (18/1), Calyxoh (18/1), Run Boy Run (20/1), Do Or Do Not (20/1), Bombay Bazaar (25/1), Faattik (25/1), Echo Point (28/1), Army Ethos (33/1), Haasim (40/1), Dyonisos (40/1), Desperate Hero (66/1)

INDIAN SPRINGS is unexposed and can go one better after his recent run here. Calyxoh is expected to be thereabouts also, while Dyonisos could have a say as well.
