Forecasts

Arrest (5/4), Golden Speech (5/2), Manifested (6/1), Nostrum (13/2), Batemans Bay (10/1), Mysterious Maestro (18/1), Buy The Dip (50/1), Bridge (66/1), Larrsen (125/1), Birchmore Len (300/1)

Almost certain to prove a strong maiden given the pedigrees/yards on show. Frankel-colt ARREST has a €440,000 price tag to live up to and is selected to make a winning debut, for all Golden Speech is a winner-in-waiting, while Nostrum is bred to be smart, too.
