Forecasts

King Vega (1/5), Tasman Bay (9/2), Musahaba (12/1), Vincent Vega (20/1), Haniya (25/1), She's No Angel (28/1), Raqisa (66/1), Bar None (250/1)

Verdict

KING VEGA sets a useful standard on what he showed last year, and if he returns anywhere near that level today, will be tough to beat. Musahaba rates as the main danger on his first start on these shores having stepped up on his debut effort at Naas when last seen 8 months ago, ahead of Tasman Bay. Haniya may prove best of the newcomers.

  1. KING VEGA
  2. MUSAHABA
  3. TASMAN BAY (FR)
