Forecasts

Miss Mach One (10/3), Graceful Thunder (7/2), Boann (4/1), Line Of Fire (11/2), Flora Of Bermuda (15/2), Say Hello (11/1), Miss Show Off (16/1), Seven Aces (16/1), Les Bleus (33/1), Orange Rosetta (33/1)

Mostly newcomers, and the market should provide further clues, but George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER is bred to be sharp, and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Andrew Balding's Flora of Bermuda cost a pretty packet when re-sold as a 2-y-o and has to be highly respected, along with once-raced Miss Mach One.
