Forecasts

Final Appeal (5/4), Blackberry Bold (7/2), Rotelle (5/1), Greek Street (5/1), Invincible Isaac (8/1), Top Cote (12/1)

The betting may guide but it's hard to go against FINAL APPEAL for Karl Burke given the yard's dominance with 2-y-os in 2025. Blackberry Bold is another interesting newcomer on paper.
