10/1

Fast Company gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including useful winner up to 7f War Department. Dam 5f winner. Market will be informative for all that he's not really bred for this sphere.

Forecasts

Switch From Diesel (13/8), Sharp Object (10/3), River Robe (10/3), Day's A Dawning (13/2), Prove Yourself (10/1), Mount Frisco (16/1), Just Andy (22/1), Dream Shaper (80/1)

DAY'S A DAWNING is from a good family and represents top connections, so she's likely to make a winning start for all that point recruit Sharp Object also looks a big player. Switch From Diesel is the best of those with experience in this sphere, so she can't be ruled out.
