Forecasts

Monte Forte (7/5), Al Hitmi (5/2), Queen Of Deauville (3/1), Deguello (7/2), Carmentis (10/1), Dixiedoodledragon (16/1)

All newcomers, and hard to rule any out. MONTE FORTE is bred to be a sharp juvenile and he gets the tentative nod before market clues. Queen of Deauville is another interesting newcomer, while Carmentis was quite expensive and is a sister to a 2-y-o 5f winner, so she's certainly not discounted.
