Forecasts
Questioning (7/4), Tin Pan Alley (11/2), See It Again (15/2), Eight On Eighteen (15/2), Legal Counsel (8/1), The Real Prince (8/1), Jet Force (12/1), Gladatorian (25/1), Dave The King (25/1), Cosmic Speed (33/1), Fire Attack (40/1), Main Defender (80/1)
MAIN DEFENDER got back on track last time out and has decent claims. Questioning looks the likeliest to chase the selection home, while Eight On Eighteen also demands consideration.
