Forecasts

Panarea (8/11), Rawaasi (5/2), Pink Satin (4/1), Ruling Sovereign (8/1), Gutsy Girl (17/2), Apeeling (12/1), Lokana (14/1), Tropical Shot (25/1)

PANAREA makes plenty of appeal on paper being a close relative to connections' top-class 2-y-o Pinatubo and can make a winning start. Penalised-winner Pink Satin sets the standard under a penalty so is an obvious threat, while Rawaasi showed promise when third at Kempton.
