Forecasts

Scandinavia (11/10), Ride The Thunder (2/1), Masubi (6/1), New York Minute (12/1), Valedictory (20/1), Serviceman (20/1), Yabher (33/1), Mister Winston (50/1), Arbitration (125/1), Red Admiral (125/1), Nimble Nasher (200/1)

SCANDINAVIA improved plenty on his debut form when second at Newmarket last month and, with further improvement forthcoming, he could take a bit of stopping. Ride The Thunder and Masubi both seem sure to build on promising opening efforts, with Serviceman heading up a handful of interesting newcomers before market clues.
