Forecasts

If Not Now (11/10), Blue Universe (85/40), God Of Fire (11/4)

Preference is for BLUE UNIVERSE, who showed a good attitude when opening his account at Wolverhampton last month and remains low mileage. Both his rivals are open to improvement in a tight contest, with God of Fire narrowly preferred for the forecast spot.
