Forecasts

Mick Collins (15/8), Trapalanda (9/4), Kisiyra (10/3), Poetic Sound (5/1), Polaris Dancer (10/1), Sherodan (14/1), Ice Opera (14/1), Fianna (25/1), Jazzwing (33/1), Jet Times (100/1), Rio Doce (125/1), Ballinahulla (150/1)

TRAPALANDA showed plenty when runner-up to a promising sort on debut and, with the scope for improvement, he's fancied to get the better of Sherodan, who makes a belated Flat debut having shown himself to be a useful hurdler. Mick Collins also has the potential for better.
