Forecasts

Sidereal (4/1), Always Fearless (9/2), Old News (5/1), With Promise (13/2), Khaalis (8/1), Purgatory (10/1), Kinsman (10/1), Daafr (12/1), Taste The Nectar (16/1), Earth And Sky (18/1), Rogue Assassin (18/1), Top Class Angel (20/1), Sophosc (50/1), Three C's (66/1), Beauty Stone (150/1), Albadr (150/1)

SIDEREAL looks like the type of colt to improve with his racing and his fourth here last month looks like solid form. He should take all the beating off a 2 lb lower mark. Khaalis is another lightly-raced colt who did all that was asked of him over C&D last month and would be dangerous to discount on handicap debut. Always Fearless should appreciate the return to a mile and has each-way claims.
