Forecasts

Critical Aclaim (15/8), Aviano (15/8), Tuco Salamanca (13/2), Queen Sansa (9/1), Enchanted Way (10/1), Dios De La Guerra (12/1), Magna Grecia Star (14/1), Territot (40/1), Amber Honey (66/1), Napa Lady (200/1)

The betting should reveal plenty here but Archie Watson's fair maiden ENCHANTED WAY holds the clear edge on form so gets the vote with blinkers also added for the first time. Marco Botti's debutant Aviano has the potential to make his mark, especially if the market vibes are positive, while the unexposed duo Amber Honey and Queen Sansa also need factoring in.
