Forecasts

Sommesky (85/40), Our Soldier (16/5), Jackmoon (4/1), A Tipp For Gold (9/2), Broderick (6/1), Coral River (14/1), Alright George (28/1), Drumgill (50/1), Bruno From Mars (100/1)

The bar isn't set all that high by those with form and SOMMESKY makes appeal on pedigree/connections, so he's worth chancing to make a winning start. A Tipp For Gold is an obvious player and Our Soldier is likely to improve from his debut.
