Forecasts

Hard To Play (9/2), Solid Gold (9/2), Pearl Of Asia (11/2), Good Rhythm (11/2), Sniper Shot (7/1), Winter Chill (15/2), Drunken Sailor (10/1), Enjoy The View (11/1), Ishnana (12/1), Ziva La Winter (14/1), Celebration Rock (16/1), Goliath Heron (33/1)

HARD TO PLAY continues in top form and can notch up another victory. Sniper Shot shouldn't be underestimated, while Good Rhythm is another that should go well.
