Forecasts

Francesco Baracca (3/1), Gifted Angel (7/2), Gold Penny (5/1), Cosmic Soul (7/1), Circuit Breaker (7/1), Young Endless (8/1), Moon Sniper (8/1), Civil Law (16/1)

Little between the principals but GIFTED ANGEL rates just the pick at these weights so is taken to edge out fellow course scorer Young Endless and in-form duo Cosmic Soul and Gold Penny. Course specialist Civil Law completes the shortlist.
