Forecasts

Starry Eyed (13/8), Sounds Of Heaven (2/1), Boogie Woogie (15/2), Bataan (11/1), Star Galaxy (12/1), Shamida (16/1), Aird (20/1), Hazalaya (25/1), Scarlett O'Hara (28/1), Esquiline (50/1), Katonah (50/1), Tender Camilla (100/1), Nomenclature (100/1), Golden Spangle (150/1), Little Fury (300/1)

There's not much to separate SOUNDS OF HEAVEN and Starry Eyed on last month's promising debut efforts. The Gowran race the former contested has already thrown up a winner and that just tips things in favour of Jessie Harrington's charge. Boogie Woogie, who was behind stablemate Starry Eyed on debut, is likely to improve and could also play a part. The betting should help guide regards the newcomers.
