Forecasts

Naval Guard (5/6), Secret Is Ours (3/1), Twin Turbo (9/1), My Master (11/1), Qunetra (12/1), Grimaldi (14/1), Great Affair (16/1), Baymax (25/1), Sea Ways (28/1), Fifth Of July (40/1), Khiza (50/1), Excellarator (50/1)

GRIMALDI's recent efforts have been likeable in general and he just about sets the standard. Secret Is Ours could provide the main opposition, while Naval Guard also needs a closer look.
