Forecasts

Storm Eric (3/1), Scarlet Dancer (18/5), Numoor (5/1), Indiana Grey (8/1), Tynamite (8/1), Mullacash Buzz (9/1), Maestro Stick (9/1), Tashim (11/1), Not Amused (11/1), Cherry Bloom (16/1), Sister Lola (20/1), Teddy Boy (20/1), Eruption (40/1), Devious Dreamer (50/1), Plankton (80/1), Vulture Peak (80/1), Purring Along (125/1)

The fitting of a tongue strap might just pack a bit more punch into SCARLET DANCER's finishing effort and enable him to gain reward for a consistent spell. Storm Eric, Tynamite and Indiana are a trio of potential threats.
