Forecasts

Ahead Of The Posse (3/1), Dollar Value (16/5), Long Gone (10/3), Lightkeeper (7/2), Crassus (6/1), Decimation (7/1), Fill The Tank (20/1), Mazza's Mahler (40/1), Nohilltoosteep (100/1)

DOLLAR VALUE isn't straightforward but can take this if recapturing the pick of his form. Long Gone ran well when finding only an improver too good on her most recent outing in this sphere and is respected down in grade, with Lightkeeper another to consider.
