Forecasts

Royal Swan Master (5/4), Teerex (4/1), Helsinki (9/2), Power Star (9/2), King Of Queen (9/2), Teriyaki (10/1), Mazatlan (33/1), Thalaiva (40/1), Bomber Stream (40/1), Ubuntu Warrior (50/1), Nikolai Kopernik (66/1)

ROYAL SWAN MASTER shaped encouragingly first time up and is set to take a big step forward. Power Star has the strongest claims of the remainder, while Helsinki can make the first three as well.
