Forecasts

Gustav Klimt (6/4), Kenya (2/1), Imaging (7/2), U S Navy Flag (6/1)

A tough contest to asses, even with just a quartet of runners. Aidan O'Brien accounts for three of them, and the choice of Ryan Moore ensures that Gustav Klimt will be popular. U S Navy Flag achieved more last season however and is a major threat. On the forecast ground however, their stablemate KENYA could be best suited. The colt will almost certainly have improvement in his locker and gets the nod. Imaging also handles conditions and shouldn't be deemed out of this by any stretch.
