Sageburg County (10/11), Kap Chidley (7/2), Si Elegant (9/2), Marty Byrde (5/1), Harvie Wallbanger (7/1), Shiroccosmagicbaby (25/1), Amidnightstar (28/1), Hidalgo Conti (28/1), Dirk Gently (50/1), Minneigh Mozze (200/1), Mighty Mississippi (300/1), Dawnslittlediamond (300/1)

SI ELEGANT's French form is well in advance of anything his rivals have shown and he's a confident choice to make a winning debut for his new stable. His stablemate Shiroccosmagicbaby is a danger if the market speaks in her favour and Sageburg County is a solid place proposition.
