Forecasts

Ibleo (10/3), Sky Pirate (4/1), Magic Saint (4/1), Zanza (11/2), Nietzsche (9/1), Capeland (12/1), Gino Trail (14/1), Born Survivor (14/1), Forest Bihan (25/1)

IBLEO's chasing profile is all positive so far and it's possible he hasn't finished improving yet, so he's an appealing candidate. Magic Saint is likely to give another good account over this trip, with the unexposed Zanza completing the shortlist.
