Forecasts

Mooneista (2/1), Moss Tucker (3/1), Ladies Church (4/1), Tees Spirit (15/2), Castle Star (11/1), Arecibo (12/1), Big Gossey (20/1), Lady Tilbury (28/1), Anthem National (66/1), Saliteh (66/1)

MOONEISTA ended last season out of form, but this looks a good opportunity for her to bounce back starting out for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Smart performers Moss Tucker and Ladies Church are others to consider.
