Forecasts

Tropic Sun (2/1), Naafer (9/4), Frosted Steel (3/1), Ivalo's Prince (4/1), Virtuosa (11/1), Axios (40/1), Queen Of War (50/1)

FROSTED STEEL put up a new best effort last time out and is going to be hard to beat. Tropic Sun makes most appeal of the rest, while Virtuosa has place prospects as well.
