Forecasts

Tekao (5/6), Comfort Zone (10/3), New Year Honours (7/2), Jazzy Matty (5/1), Gordons Aura (20/1), Ludus (22/1), By Your Side (40/1), Snapius (40/1), Teagarden Jazz (50/1), Red Trail (66/1), Poets Cottage (80/1), Scarbrook (80/1), Puntastic (100/1), Nemean (100/1), Thetys (125/1), Theonewedreamof (125/1), Mister Wilson (125/1), Verbal Sparring (200/1), Pralognan (200/1), Secret Rock (200/1), Joven De Corazon (200/1), Portarlington (250/1), Bayou Belle (250/1)

This has the makings of a very strong maiden and TEKAO, the winner of his only start in France, could be the one to side with having joined a top stable. New Years Honour, who made a promising start in this sphere at Down Royal, is an obvious threat, while Comfort Zone is another big player based on Flat form.
