Forecasts

White Sand Beach (11/10), Spangled Sands (5/4), Suspicious Mindz (3/1), Zia Zabel (8/1), Anushka (10/1), In The Gloaming (11/1), Sunrush (18/1), Hambelton (20/1), Believe Believe (100/1), Admiral Will Brown (150/1), Arizona Star (200/1), Lil Hot Shot (250/1), Iff In Doubt (300/1), Dream Legend (300/1)

Verdict

SPANGLED SANDS showed plenty when runner-up in maidens at Galway/Gowran and should have no trouble going one better before long. White Sand Beach shaped well when second at Punchestown and is another to consider along with Suspicious Mindz, who sets the standard on his best form.
