Forecasts

Glorious Journey (1/1), Grand Koonta (3/1), Take Me With You (8/1), Al Fujairah (9/1), Qayes (9/1), Central City (10/1), Maksab (25/1), Cosmopolitan Queen (33/1), Starboy (66/1), Amourice (150/1)

This race could produce a lot of future winners. Grand Koonta and Central City set the standard on form but both would be vulnerable to an above average newcomer. Cosmopolitan Queen, Qayes and GLORIOUS JOURNEY all make plenty of appeal on pedigree, with the latter the most expensive at 2.6million guineas. As a son of Dubawi out of a Coronation Stakes winner it would surprise few if he proved good enough to land a race where the market will be a valuable source of intelligence.
