Forecasts

Believe In Fate (3/1), Xenophon (9/2), African Prince (5/1), Stoneywood (8/1), Romilly (8/1), Blizzard Snow (17/2), French Flame (9/1), Ready Set Fire (10/1), Turbo Power (10/1), Rockaroundtheclock (16/1), Arashi (18/1), Kwagga Blitz (20/1), Sunset Warrior (33/1), Blaze A Way (80/1)

STONEYWOOD formwise has not much to fear here and has claims second to none. French Flame should be involved at the business end too, while Ready Set Fire could go well too.
