Forecasts

Al Muthana (8/15), Eliud (3/1), Shango (9/1), Seehaam (12/1), Approach Control (12/1), Wonderwall (28/1), Set The Standard (33/1), Alibi Guy (33/1), Captain And Master (33/1), Tree Tumbo (40/1)

SHANGO won a Gr 3 last time and could leave all his rivals in a trance again. Set The Standard makes most appeal of the others, while Al Muthana is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
