Forecasts

Gang Leader (3/1), Var Aglow (7/2), Palace Assembly (7/2), Gemcutter (4/1), Phinda Mzala (9/2), Ice Eater (7/1), Persica (11/1), Dewali (12/1), Pillaroftheearth (20/1), Undisclosed (22/1), Starflash (25/1), Kings Road (40/1)

GEMCUTTER is in a good run of form and is just about the pick in this line up. Phinda Mzala should be thereabouts come the business end, while Palace Assembly is another to bear in mind.
