Forecasts

Three C's (9/4), Mister Freeze (9/2), De Bruyne Horse (13/2), Mudawwan (13/2), Atrafan (15/2), Fly True (8/1), Bringing Glory (12/1), Bold Decision (22/1), Burning Sun (22/1), Emojie (40/1), Apachito (150/1)

It is difficult to oppose THREE C's given he won an apprentice handicap here last week. He can as a result, run in the same grade and off the same mark. Fibresand regulars Mister Freeze and Fly True look the most appealing in opposition.
