Forecasts

Azzuri (5/2), Great Fighter (4/1), G'day Aussie (6/1), Lycidas (15/2), Prairie Town (8/1), Captain Brown (17/2), Fairlee Grey (10/1), Ranjaan (14/1)

Azzuri is an obvious candidate after a 6lb drop, though he has still to convince of his reliability and the suggestion is to take him on with G'DAY AUSSIE, who has been in good form and should be in the thick of it again from this mark. Lycidas and Captain Brown are others who should be involved.
