Forecasts

Hightimeyouwon (5/2), Super Over (7/2), Exquisite Acclaim (11/2), Ransom (7/1), Alexander John (11/1), Charlisse (11/1), Macadam's Rock (14/1), May Night (14/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (20/1), Rumbled Again (22/1), Miqdaad (33/1), Tomahawk King (125/1)

RANSOM wasn't far behind Exquisite Acclaim and Hightimeyouwon when third over C&D last month and is taken to turn the tables on that duo this time. Indeed, he meets those rivals on slightly better terms and subsequently got his head back in front when outpointing May Night in a claimer here. Hightimeyouwon is second choice, while Super Over is on a workable mark and also commands considerable respect.
