Forecasts

White Marlin (10/3), House Of Kings (10/3), Picpoul (6/1), Jake Peter (7/1), Dare To Flare (7/1), Annexation (7/1), Lord Mczie (8/1), Raamez (12/1), Harriet's Force (14/1), Exchange Rate (14/1), Mr Everest (25/1), Chateau Musar (33/1), Drakensberg (40/1), Estepona Sun (66/1), Neverushacon (100/1)

WHITE MARLIN made the perfect start over C&D last month and can make it 2-2 with improvement on the way now handicapping. House of Kings continues in good form and can go well once more. Annexation must be of firm interest again also.
