Forecasts

Justice Protecol (2/1), Military Crown (5/2), Geopolitic (11/2), Sandy Paradise (9/1), Drawing Clocks (11/1), Geelong (12/1), Cabinet Maker (12/1), Away Wit Da Fairys (33/1), Rita Rana (100/1)

Godolphin's MILITARY CROWN is closely related to the high-class Lord North, out of a 2-y-o 7f/1m winner, and looks an obvious one on debut in a race that might not take much winning, Penalised Justice Protecol and Sandy Paradise remain open to improvement but may need to take quite a step forward if the selection lives up to his pedigree.
