Forecasts

Africa's Gold (11/8), Aranjuez (5/2), Purest Bliss (7/2), Onesie (9/1), Celestial Prince (12/1), Fiery Fort (18/1), Cedar Man (20/1)

PUREST BLISS is well up to winning this if not disadvantaged by this new trip. Aranjuez is most likely the main threat, while Fiery Fort shouldn't be ruled out.
