Forecasts

Tasever (10/3), Flowstate (9/2), Front Gunner (5/1), Bobby Joe Leg (11/2), Concert Boy (6/1), Novak (7/1), Lessay (8/1), Saisons D'Or (16/1)

Verdict

There was little to choose between FRONT GUNNER and Flowstate over C&D recently and the former might be able to reverse the placings on 1 lb better terms. Concert Boy is as reliable as they come and should be on the premises once more.
