Forecasts

Oneiroi (4/1), Oh Purple Reign (9/2), Himalayan Beauty (6/1), Monzoon (6/1), Adamaris (8/1), Thaleeq (17/2), Double Kodiac (12/1), Big Island (12/1), Khafaaq (14/1), Meishar (14/1), Kodiac Prince (16/1), Mogwli (20/1), Swiss Army Officer (20/1), Stormy Jenn (25/1), Stellar Spirit (50/1), Alhaajeb (80/1), London Palladium (150/1)

Plenty to consider, but THALEEQ is worth another chance despite a disappointing defeat in a maiden last time. He was previously edged out in a Curragh handicap that has worked out well and surely has a similar race in him. Oh Purple Reign and Oneiroi both scored last time out and are big players again.
