Forecasts

Noir's Boy (9/4), Naval Secret (4/1), Sh Boom (9/2), Spiritual Wind (5/1), Smart William (6/1), Brandenburg (7/1), Parktown (7/1), Lucky Dancer (15/2), Doppio Oro (12/1), All Lit Up (12/1), Senor Don (14/1), Anderson (20/1), Counting Stars (33/1), Forged In Flame (40/1)

SMART WILLIAM appears to have just enough in hand to take this, though he was well beaten in the face of a stiff task last time. Brandenburg arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Noir's Boy could go well too.
