Forecasts

Pit Boss (15/8), Andalprofit (7/2), Instant Bond (9/2), Tomorrow Day (9/2), Asadjumeirah (5/1), Spun To Gold (5/1), Jkr Cobbler (6/1), Tarlac (25/1), Nazca (50/1), South Road (50/1)

SPUN TO GOLD is taken to capitalise on a handy mark. Pit Boss arrives in good heart but needs things to fall right. Andalprofit might get the run of things and is another to note.
