Forecasts

Lexington Knight (8/11), Kraken Filly (5/2), Wizard D'Amour (7/2), Tampa (6/1), Lightening Company (16/1), Sanderlin (22/1), Vellco's Boy (40/1), Faline (50/1), Cole Noir (125/1)

LEXINGTON KNIGHT sets a clear standard on the form he's shown in three runs to date and should be able to shed his maiden tag here. Tampa looked like a colt who would improve for his promising run at Ayr last month and he is of serious interest. Wizard d'Amour has twice run well and can't be ruled out either.
