Forecasts

Etna Rosso (11/8), Picture Of A City (9/2), Alexandra Gardens (9/2), Golden Temple (5/1), Master Dunraven (7/1), Gunsight (9/1), Siouxanne (16/1), Rainbow Reel (16/1), St Faz (22/1), Parish Star (22/1)

ALEXANDRA GARDENS is related to three winners and represents a top yard, so he's worth chancing on debut. Etna Rosso, another debutant from the same yard, could pose the main threat, while Gunsight looks the best of those with experience.
