Forecasts

My Best Shot (4/9), Splicethemainbrace (9/2), Polynomial (17/2), Waheed (12/1), Sakurajima (28/1), Master Forester (33/1)

MY BEST SHOT has recorded some excellent efforts lately and looks the one they all have to beat. Splicethemainbrace seems the principal danger, while Sakurajima might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
