Forecasts

Indomeneo (13/8), General Marius (7/4), Jupiter (6/1), Boomerang Betty (7/1), Dark Blue (16/1), Far Dawn (20/1), Wiltons (50/1)

INDOMENEO and Far Dawn have been up with the pace in both of their last two races and could have a couple in trouble as it comes to the business end of the race. The early pace could help Jupiter and Dark Blue, run in to a place.
