Forecasts

Bachelor (11/10), Strike For Freedom (3/1), Moghamarah (3/1), Battle Of Jericho (9/2), Mount Wellington (6/1), Lily Marlene (8/1), Pretty Boy Floyd (25/1)

BACHELOR holds the key here, following a fine second on debut finishing second of nine, 3½L behind the Fozzy Stack-trained, Commander Grigio, who has some fancy entries, in the Group 2 Railway Stakes, and the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes and The National Stakes. Newcomers, Battle Of Jericho and Lily Marlene are interesting and could easily make the frame.
