Forecasts

Sir William Bruce (11/8), Moktaffy (85/40), Dublin Journal (8/1), Torino (8/1), Port Philip (12/1), Gamigin (20/1), Hathlool (20/1), Comedy La Vega (25/1), Baron Zee (33/1), Doctor Brown Bear (33/1), Prince Of Verona (40/1), Silaiyli (40/1), Fake Plastic Trees (50/1), Coolcullen (100/1), Gonna Go Viral (250/1)

SIR WILLIAM BRUCE ought to make a better 3-y-o for his powerful connections and as such is expected to improve by standard-setter Moktaffy. Port Philip looks an interesting newcomer.
