Forecasts

Giacomo Puccini (2/1), Bereave (9/4), Somerset Maugham (10/3), Path Of Choice (8/1), Doppio Oro (9/1), Kaptein (10/1), Theory Of Flight (22/1), Black Belt (40/1), Emperors Decree (40/1), Zeb (40/1), Brave Tiger (50/1)

KAPTEIN has been hard to fault in recent outings and will probably take the beating. Path Of Choice will seemingly provide most resistance, while Emperors Decree looks best of the remainder.
