Forecasts

Ray Vonn (6/4), Native Beach (10/3), Star Sound (6/1), Pearly Star (7/1), Wall Game (8/1), Desert Swirl (17/2), Juryman (11/1), American Oak (16/1), Lunario (66/1), Don't What Me Boy (125/1)

STAR SOUND shaped well both starts at Newcastle during the autumn and with improvement expected as a 3-y-o, she's selected to make a winning reappearance. We haven't seen the best of Wall Game either and he's a threat, while debutantes Pearly Star and Desert Swirl represent successful yards and a market move for either would have to be taken seriously.
