Forecasts

Euphoric (15/8), South Pole (7/2), Rocking Tree (9/2), Volto Di Medusa (13/2), Benvoy (8/1), Best Law (8/1), Solar Saving (16/1), Moutarde (40/1), Goodbye Venice (150/1), Kept On Nicely (200/1), King Of The Bronx (200/1), Dont Do Dramas (250/1)

EUPHORIC cost a fortune as a yearling and is the choice of Seamie Heffernan, so he's taken to make a winning start at the expense of stablemate South Pole without the benefit of market clues. Best Law also makes plenty of appeal on paper.
