Forecasts

Weissmuller (4/11), Blue Pinatubo (7/2), Invitorio (8/1), Uncle Liam (50/1)

Archie Watson's WEISSMULLER has some fairly useful form to his name and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Invitorio and Blue Pinatubo appeal as the duo to chase home the selection in that order.
