Forecasts

Nartjie (15/8), Call Me Master (4/1), Captain Chorus (5/1), Psycho King (5/1), Our Coys (6/1), In For A Penny (10/1), Cairon (12/1), Greek Fire (14/1), War Jewel (16/1), Major Return (20/1)

CAPTAIN CHORUS came up short when prominent in the market last time, but edges it as the selection once again. Greek Fire is also fancied to take a hand, while Nartjie also merits respect.
