Forecasts

Gambe Veloci (2/1), Texas Sun (3/1), Fernao (4/1), Nostringsattached (13/2), Secret Spy (10/1), Expound (10/1), Racing Royalty (10/1), Cerberus (20/1), The Shootlist (33/1), Areana (33/1), God Knows (33/1), Run For You (50/1), Old Peculier (66/1), Fan Na Tiobratan (66/1), Nurse Garvey (200/1), Captured (250/1), Benzine (250/1), Von Krolock (250/1), Ely Bandero (250/1)

The suggestion is GAMBE VELOCI, who showed enough on his first 2 starts last year to suggest he can win a race of this nature. Texas Sun and Racing Royalty are a couple of potential threats.
