Forecasts

Original Outlaw (4/1), Deep Hope (5/1), Open Mind (6/1), Arigatou Gozaimasu (7/1), Righthere Rightnow (7/1), Giustino (8/1), Vercors (12/1), The Trickster (14/1), Calyxoh (14/1), Jumaira Bay (14/1), Arabian Angel (16/1), Chaldero (16/1), Jungle Mac (25/1), Music Of Time (33/1), Ehraz (33/1), Mostabshir (33/1)

DEEP HOPE seems to be returning to form and can end his losing streak in this handicap. Original Outlaw can maintain his good run of form, while Righthere Rightnow is another to consider.
