Forecasts

Black Run (7/4), Hampden (9/4), Games People Play (5/1), Anzac Day (6/1), Sam Hawkens (9/1), Caprelo (20/1), Golden Arc (33/1), First Encounter (150/1)

BLACK RUN shaped well when third in a newcomers event at Deauville and, with improvement expected, he's likely to have enough to open his account despite the presence of a trio of interesting newcomers in Anzac Day, Games People Play and Sam Hawkens.
