Forecasts

Flying Carpet (2/5), Battle Force (2/1), Apache Trail (7/1), Governors Glory (8/1), Ownyourfate (33/1), Mcebisi (33/1), Tropical Giver (50/1), Reggae Rocks (50/1), Trying Times (66/1), Barometer (66/1), Matildarockbottom (66/1)

FLYING CARPET is manifestly in front of these formwise and will be very tough to beat. Battle Force should be involved at the business end too, while Governors Glory has place prospects as well first time up.
