Forecasts

Metar (9/4), Call It Fate (5/2), Beneath The Moon (4/1), Umvoti (5/1), Costa Smeralda (13/2), Eye Catching (10/1), Just Power (25/1), Cruizin California (50/1)

Verdict

CALL IT FATE is just about the safest pick but this is an open race. Eye Catching is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Costa Smeralda is another that could go well.

  1. Call It Fate5/2
  2. Eye Catching10/1
  3. Costa Smeralda13/2
