Forecasts

Bucaneer's Spirit (6/4), Avatar Jet (16/5), Kiki Roberts (6/1), Anvika (9/1), Koniag (10/1), Whispersinthewind (14/1), Cornahilt Soldier (20/1), Bella Colombia (22/1), Goal Exceeded (33/1), Velvet Skies (40/1), Sinbad My Dad (50/1)

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT again impressed with the manner in which he went through the race when third in a big-field handicap here 3 weeks ago and there may well be a bigger performance in his locker. Avatar Jet and Koniag look the chief threats.
