Forecasts

Starred (4/6), Liberation Date (9/2), Silk Braid (7/1), Port Arthur (15/2), Lumiere Des Etoile (16/1), Dream And Believe (16/1), Fox In Flight (33/1), Goofy Gander (33/1), Alandownunder (50/1), Final Boss (80/1), Sagasti (100/1), Sceitimini (150/1)

STARRED took a big step forward when third in a big-field maiden over C&D last time and gets a confident vote to open his account now. Ger Lyons' Invincible Army newcomer Silk Braid could emerge as the main danger with Port Arthur, Goofy Gander and Lumiere Des Etoile appealing as the pick of the rest.
