Forecasts

Elzaamsan (8/13), Seattle Creek (10/3), Razdan (7/1), Thermoscope (15/2), Steel Queen (9/1), Vinland (14/1), Fattan (25/1), Vulture Peak (50/1), Sherry Baby (66/1), Benz (66/1), Livindadream (125/1), Trading Up (150/1), Fanta Magic (150/1), Swift Beauty (150/1), Da Little Grey Lad (250/1), All About Beth (300/1)

ELZAAMSAN and Seattle Creek are closely matched on form and may well dominate this maiden, with the first-named, who is less exposed, taken to marginally prevail. Steel Queen only showed modest form in bumpers, but there was a good deal more promise when third in a course maiden on her first Flat outing, so she's a danger to them both.
