Forecasts

Say When (11/8), Indlamu (15/8), West Coast Lover (11/2), Against The Grain (7/1), Back To Black (9/1), Rise As One (10/1), Midnight Caller (10/1), Irish Willow (10/1), Run April Run (10/1), Opening Gambit (50/1)

SAY WHEN is best of these on form and is the one to beat. Rise As One gets the nod among the remainder, while Indlamu is another that should go well.
