Forecasts

Arlecchino's Gift (3/1), Sisters In The Sky (3/1), White Mist (4/1), Due Date (13/2), Dyed In The Wool (7/1), My Boy Jack (9/1), Yaahobby (10/1), Doc Sportello (12/1), Liberty Bay (25/1)

Having slipped down the weights SISTERS IN THE SKY has been shaping as though his turn may be near of late and he gets the nod, for all that he isn't absolutely guaranteed to get the strong pace that he ideally needs. That is an even bigger concern in the context of My Boy Jack but he is nevertheless feared most ahead of Arlecchino's Gift and White Mist.
