Forecasts

Urban Rock (10/3), Grindelwald (7/2), Imposing Angel (5/1), Abalus (5/1), Mercer Girl (9/1), True Brit (10/1), Abbacadabra (10/1), Touch Of Fate (12/1), Bridge Of Spies (16/1), Capri Gold (16/1), Freedom Dancer (33/1), Meteoric (33/1)

URBAN ROCK has been hard to fault in recent races and looks the one they all have to beat. Mercer Girl should be thereabouts, while Abalus is another to take into acount.
