Forecasts

Raahy (5/6), X Force (9/4), Cool Sphere (4/1), Crime Of Passion (20/1), Itoldyoutobackit (20/1), Shani (25/1), Dark Side Prince (33/1), Glamorous Force (40/1), Prissy Missy (50/1), Shaun's Delight (100/1)

COOL SPHERE performed well on debut and he is taken to get off the mark at the third time of asking int his novice contest. The selection ran respectably in a much better race last time out and he can see off Raahy who can record her third placed effort by taking second. X Force represents a stable who do well with their youngsters and he can finish third on debut.
