Forecasts

Forever Mine (5/4), Mk's Pride (9/4), Tropic Sun (4/1), Al Muthana (6/1), Visiway (14/1), Cavivar (16/1), Dark Crystal (50/1)

TROPIC SUN was a beaten favourite last time out, but still appeals as the best option. Dark Crystal is another who should take a hand, while Forever Mine also commands a second look.
