Forecasts

Cotai Hero (3/1), Ernie's Valentine (16/5), Claim The Stars (7/2), Meng Tian (11/2), Spiceline (9/1), Roccozaam (12/1), Koda Legend (12/1)

A tightly-knit nursery in which marginal preference is for CLAIM THE STARS who was just touched off at Ayr last month and is taken to go one better now venturing into nurseries on an attractive-looking mark. Cotai Hero has given the strong impression this step up to 6f will suit so he rates the main threat, although Spiceline and Koda Legend are two others well worth considering.
