Forecasts

African Prince (15/8), Drivelikeamaster (2/1), Fully Loaded (13/2), Antonio Gaudi (9/1), Ensuing (10/1), Vibe Sa (12/1), Kwagga Blitz (16/1), Cian The Conqueror (22/1), Halberdier (25/1), Satyagraha (28/1), Red Penny (28/1), Phil The Fluter (33/1)

DRIVELIKEAMASTER got back on track in his most recent race and looks the one they all have to beat. Fully Loaded is not one to underestimate all the same, while Ensuing also demands a second look.
