Forecasts

Noble Saint (2/1), Prince Ivar (5/2), Steel Pier (4/1), Berry Lancer (15/2), Kings Park (9/1), Handsome Badger (11/1), Platinum Shay (12/1), Campo Formio (20/1), Madrid (22/1), Mfulathela (50/1), Lance Attack (80/1), Azure Warrior (100/1), Golden Slipstream (100/1), Hawkeye (100/1)

NOBLE SAINT made a promising debut and is likely to improve significantly. Steel Pier is a big threat, while Campo Formio is another worth looking at.
