Forecasts

Papa K (13/8), Amanirenas (9/4), Instrumental (7/2), Yester (5/1), Grigadale (11/2), Suwappu (16/1), Westernesse (16/1), Aconcagua Mountain (50/1), City Point (66/1), Tinkiewinkie (150/1)

INSTRUMENTAL has an excellent pedigree, full of speed, and he makes his debut in a race that looks weak on paper, so he should be able to open his account before moving on to bigger things. Amanirenas made a pleasing start 9 days ago, so he's the likeliest to capitalise if the selection disappoints.
