Forecasts

Carry The Flag (2/1), Blixen Force (3/1), Belle Island (7/2), Star Prospect (5/1), What A Girl Wants (11/2), Arizona Raider (33/1)

A small field for this 2-y-o race and BLIXEN FORCE can make the most of his experience to prevail at the second time of asking. Carry The Flag is a very likely newcomer on paper but may have to settle for next best, while fellow debutant Star Prospect can chase them home.
