Forecasts

Love Trophy Power (5/6), Meganseigthteen (3/1), Manettino (13/2), King Of Speed (7/1), Tia Dalma (20/1)

MEGANSEIGTHTEEN was an eye-catcher on stable debut last time and gets the narrow verdict over last-time-out winner Love Trophy Power. The other three are all uninspiring at present, with King of Speed the pick for third.
