Forecasts

One More Dream (2/1), Westmorian (4/1), Blackjack (9/2), Secret Road (5/1), Athollblair Boy (15/2), Dandys Derriere (9/1), Phoenix Beach (10/1), Global Humor (22/1), Hailey Ya Mal (100/1)

ONE MORE DREAM resumed winning ways in cosy fashion here last week and is selected to follow up under a penalty. Secret Road won't be far away if bouncing back from a lesser effort, while Blackjack arrives in top form and must be feared, also.
