Forecasts

Ocean Wave (7/4), Thunder Ahead (9/4), Basic Beauty (3/1), Northern (9/1), Wantage (10/1), Mind Hunter (12/1), Independence (28/1), That's Jack (66/1), Big Bard (80/1), Lobo Del Mar (250/1)

OCEAN WAVE has shaped well in two races over 1m whilst looking as though she'll improve for a step up in distance. Her dam won over this trip and she makes plenty of appeal. Thunder Ahead has some solid efforts to his name and he looks to be the main danger. Northern should be noted in the market on debut too.
