Forecasts

Royal Force (5/4), Potberrie (2/1), Palace Dancer (9/2), Lava Fire (11/1), Hazlo Grande (11/1), Quantum (18/1), Can You Danse (18/1), Legendary (20/1), Theres A Light (28/1), Coppola (50/1), Sacambaya (50/1)

POTBERRIE has largely been running well and can make a bold show. Royal Force can also play a significant role, while Can You Danse shouldn't be far away.
