7/2

Forecasts

Darasso (11/10), Cilaos Emery (11/4), Mount Ida (7/2), Escaria Ten (5/1), Indie Belle (300/1)

A quartet of at-least-smart chasers in opposition with DARASSO taken to put his race fitness to the best possible use. Escaria Ten, Mount Ida and Cilaos Emery makes their reappearance and deserve respect.
