Forecasts

Jikala (3/1), Northern Reel (10/3), Jumbo Veste Verte (10/3), Henry Box Brown (5/1), Can't Buy Time (11/1), Outback Frontiers (18/1), Knocknagappagh (20/1), Staar (20/1), Thirsty Farmer (25/1)

NORTHERN REEL has taken well to this sphere and has a good chance of resuming winning ways with most of her rivals arriving with something to prove. Jikala shaped well back from a long absence on chase bow here earlier this month and is a clear next best.
