Forecasts

Safecracker (15/8), Interpretation (7/2), Anthem (4/1), Haziya (5/1), Global Export (12/1), Alpine Sierra (14/1), Boulette (16/1), Arc En Ciel (20/1), Sanosuke (25/1), Summit Star (50/1), Comedy La Vega (66/1)

SAFECRACKER is the form pick and looks capable of better still, so he's the obvious choice ahead of Interpretation, who offered plenty to work on when fourth at this course on debut 7 months ago. Alpine Sierra is the pick of the remainder.
