Forecasts

Betty F (13/8), Ateem (4/1), Salute The Soldier (6/1), Jurz (8/1), Quality Seeker (12/1), Mesquite (16/1), The Establishment (18/1), Plentyinthetanksir (33/1), Forbidden Planet (66/1), The Emperor Within (100/1)

Forbidden Planet is an interesting newcomer and the likes of Salute The Soldier, Ateem, Jurz and Quality Seeker can win races in due course, but all of them will have to go some if BETTY F puts her best foot forward. After winning on debut, she was deemed good enough to run in Group 1 company so it will be surprising if she does not make a bold bid at this much lower level.
