Forecasts

Bartholdi (5/6), Namib Desert (7/2), Johnny Hero (7/1), Silver Spectrum (8/1), Rock The Globe (10/1), Indy Go (14/1), War Jewel (20/1), Trend Master (28/1)

ROCK THE GLOBE has a good chance on form and should be bang there. Johnny Hero is the most prudent second option, while War Jewel can make the first three as well.
