Forecasts

Luckinthecity (6/5), Tomavian (3/1), Dancing Dame (6/1), Le Coq Hardi (6/1), Big Dee (8/1), Thunder Rose (9/1), Janus Bede (12/1), Can't Resist It (14/1), Thegraveyardbookie (14/1), Good Lad (50/1), Onebrightbluerose (150/1)

Related to three winners and with a top handler, LUCKINTHECITY looks well worth chancing to make a winning start for all that Tomavian sets a reasonable standard. Le Qoc Hardi is an interesting recruit from points.
