Forecasts

Solar Drive (3/1), Moutarde (7/2), Out For A Stroll (4/1), Dont Do Dramas (6/1), Sylkie (8/1), Gregorina (14/1), Jlow (16/1), Nika Pika (18/1), Waystar (22/1), Wonderwalk (22/1), Guest Star (25/1), Finito Bonito (33/1), So Diligent (33/1), I'll Rise (66/1)

Recent winners SOLAR DRIVE and Moutarde may dominate this but the former was more impressive and is taken to prevail. Out For A Stroll is the most notable of several handicap debutants who are worth monitoring in the betting.
