Forecasts

Thoonsil (9/2), Mount Darwin (11/2), Casus Belli (11/2), Instant Attraction (6/1), Repetition (13/2), Sand Script (13/2), Terrence (15/2), Arumugam (10/1), Full Go (11/1), Majalun (16/1), Dj Junior (20/1), Romeo's Magic (40/1)

Verdict

THOONSIL took his form up a notch last time and has sound claims. Full Go has to come into the equation too, while Arumugam also commands a second look.

  1. Thoonsil9/2
  2. Full Go11/1
  3. Arumugam10/1
