Forecasts

Johnny Soda (3/1), Timber Frame (18/5), Maxminelli (4/1), Boston Benjamin (9/2), Pass The Buck (5/1), Saga Lucia (15/2), Mahi Mahi (10/1), How'sthebai (12/1), Gold Find (12/1), Fallacy (16/1), Hour Agenda (20/1), Musashi (33/1), Takaka Rain (50/1), Augusta Rock (66/1), Seventy One (200/1), Dawson Street (250/1), Keskon (250/1)

SAGA LUCIA showed enough on debut over 7f to think she's capable of winning a maiden such as this. Boston Benjamin will relish 1m and is a threat, while an above-average newcomer would be a major factor with Pass The Buck and Timber Frame of interest.
