Forecasts

Rio Querari (9/4), Erik The Red (5/2), Captain Tatters (9/2), Elusive Trader (9/1), Cartel Captain (10/1), Ready Steady Go (12/1), Cabo Da Cruz (12/1), Fabian (14/1), Point Of Sale (18/1), Constable (33/1), Third Runway (33/1), Worlds Your Oyster (40/1)

RIO QUERARI is in top form and has a fair chance up in grade. Elusive Trader is the most likely threat, while Captain Tatters is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the line up.
