Forecasts

Alpha King (10/11), Titian (6/5), The Rosstafarian (5/1), Fleur De Guy (17/2), Rainbow's Gift (18/1), Williewinamillion (25/1), Tara Iti (33/1), Highness (33/1), Carn A Chlamain (40/1), Haveyoumissedme (66/1)

ALPHA KING has all the credentials to be well above average, a full brother to the smart Tsar and with a top handler, so it's worth taking a chance that he can make a winning start. Titian would prove a formidable opponent if building on his debut at the second attempt and The Rosstafarian is another interesting newcomer.
