Forecasts

Shark Bay (3/1), Manu Et Corde (3/1), Almanera (16/5), Sen Ding (9/2), Barud (11/2), Lorenzo Lotto (13/2), Pioneering Spirit (16/1), Eighty Eight (33/1), Kawazaki (33/1), John The Baptist (50/1), Zoffman (100/1), All In The Mind (250/1)

SHARK BAY is hardly surprisingly a well-bred colt and he showed enough on debut to suggest he'll be winning races sooner rather than later. Manu Et Corde was just behind the selection on debut and shouldn't be underestimated, while the selection's stable companion Lorenzo Lotto has to be respected as well.
