Forecasts

After The Rain (5/4), Crown Towers (4/1), Lyrical Dance (15/2), Keep On Dancing (8/1), Mount Laurel (10/1), Sir Michael (11/1), Socrates (14/1), Gentleman's Wager (14/1), Capoeira (16/1), Priceless Ruler (28/1), News Stream (28/1)

SOCRATES looks to have marginally the best chance but it promises to be touch and go. Capoeira makes most appeal of the remainder, while Lyrical Dance is another with the potential to be on the premises.
