Forecasts

Dame Of Flames (11/4), Call Me Master (9/2), Liverpool Legend (6/1), Diamonds N Dollars (13/2), Flying First Class (17/2), Anatura (17/2), Ball Rolling (9/1), Koopa Troopa (16/1), Bold Resolve (20/1), Dance Partner (20/1), Fasinada (22/1), My Kingdom (22/1), Saffron Rain (22/1), Dark Vision (33/1), Kurt's Approval (40/1), Gypsy Magic (50/1), Chasing Mavericks (66/1)

DIAMONDS N DOLLARS put up an excellent effort last time and has decent claims. Liverpool Legend can get the better of the others for second, while Flying First Class deserves some consideration as well.
