Forecasts

Forest Of Dreams (2/1), Aikido (5/2), Let's (10/3), Ferrybank (7/1), Mahaaseel (8/1), Sloane Peterson (10/1), Bell I Am (14/1), Erosandpsyche (25/1)

AIKIDO improved with each of his 3 starts as a juvenile, off the mark in a 7f maiden here when last seen in November. This drop back in trip will be no bad thing and, with further progress likely, he gets the nod ahead of fellow promising types, Forest of Dreams and Let's. Mahaaseel remains capable of better, too, and Ferrybank is also entitled to respect in what looks a warm race.
