Forecasts

Pivotal Trigger (4/7), Carlo Bianconi (2/1), Head Of State (8/1), Parish Green (14/1), Melrose Duchess (25/1), Donadea Dreamer (33/1)

PIVOTAL TRIGGER has the best form and should make a better 3-y-o, so he should make a successful return at the likely expense of Carlo Bianconi, who is open to improvement. Head of State is probably the pick of the remainder.
