Forecasts

Dabirann (5/4), Luigi Antinori (3/1), Seven Hills (7/2), Morse (9/2), Avondale (6/1), Jazz Forever (12/1), Gardone (33/1), Little Rascal (40/1), Sparkit (50/1), Cherokee Run (66/1)

DABIRANN showed a good deal more than first time up when fourth here 3 weeks ago and should do better again up in trip. He gets the vote over well-bred newcomer Luigi Antinori. Seven Hills showed a bit when fifth on debut here and is another to consider.
