Forecasts

Ibshara (6/4), Starlight Time (11/4), Eschweiler (4/1), Supreme Chief (4/1), Capall Rasa (10/1), Fletcher (33/1)

STARLIGHT TIME didn't cost a lot but there's enough in his pedigree to think he can win a race like this on debut for his excellent yard. Ibshara will attempt to put her experience to good use and is the obvious threat.
