Forecasts

Captain Of Stealth (5/6), Belgarion (10/3), Rain In Newmarket (6/1), Veronica Mars (9/1), Hyde Park (12/1), Rockin' Ringo (14/1), Nexus (18/1)

HYDE PARK is well in front of these from a form perspective and will be hard to beat. Captain Of Stealth has to come into the equation as well, while Veronica Mars is prominent among those with minor place claims.
