Forecasts

Hollandia Bakkerij (9/4), Heliotrope (11/4), Makhachev (3/1), Curtiss Condor (13/2), Heemstede (9/1), Action America (10/1), George Handel (11/1), Richardthefearless (33/1), Twenty Drachma's (100/1)

Verdict

MAKHACHEV can land the spoils. Heliotrope is hard to ignore, while Hollandia Bakkerij is another with the potential to be on the premises.
