Forecasts

La Dolce Vita (15/8), Pivotal Trigger (85/40), Hans Andersen (3/1), Long Count (10/1), Young Ireland (14/1), Vernet (16/1), City Exile (18/1), Coach Madden (18/1)

HANS ANDERSON has an excellent pedigree, full of speed on the dam's side, and he's worth chancing to make a successful start for all La Dolce Vita sets a reasonable standard. Pivotal Trigger is open to improvement following a pleasing debut, so he's another one to consider.
