Forecasts

Destructive (13/8), Guns And Glory (15/8), El Introvertido (13/2), Elyabri (8/1), Redan (10/1), Tokyo Tower (16/1), King Of Luck (18/1), Phoenix Of Oman (25/1), Fayadh (28/1), Ramaah (50/1), Princident (50/1), Morjanah (50/1), Acclaim To Royalty (66/1), Prima Summer (80/1), Megdam (80/1)

DESTRUCTIVE has made a promising start on the dirt and could prove hard to beat in a contest lacking depth. Guns And Glory seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while El Introvertido looks best of the others.
