Forecasts

Master Of Paris (3/1), Green Mandarin (7/2), Naushon (4/1), Faire Advantage (9/2), Augusta Blue (9/2), Shavout (8/1), Big Poppa (16/1), Gold Index (28/1)

AUGUSTA BLUE has a very good chance on form and is quite a confident selection. Naushon could be the answer to second spot, while Master Of Paris is prominent among those with minor place claims.
