Forecasts

Synchronicity (11/4), Seet (4/1), Sapphire Secret (9/2), Song Of The Clouds (7/1), Akademy Lady (8/1), Bright Summer (10/1), Tarrant (12/1), Lucky Luna (14/1), Pierpoint (20/1), Mother Dear (33/1), Bundok (33/1), Cap Santa Lucia (33/1)

A field consisting solely of debutantes and several are very well bred, with SYNCHRONICITY, a 900,000 gns sister to Ombudsman, perhaps the most appealing on paper. Seet, Song of the Clouds and Sapphire Secret all have plenty to recommend them on paper also in what promises to be an informative heat.
