Forecasts

Midnight Toker (2/1), Finsceal Go Deo (11/4), Forceful Speed (9/2), Ocean Quest (11/2), Borletti (10/1), Meggy Moo (12/1), Laranjal (14/1), Tic Tac Toe (16/1), Brazilian Song (33/1), Ulaffinatmeboy (125/1)

A number make appeal on paper, including MIDNIGHT TOKER. Closely related to a pair who proved sharp enough to score on their respective debuts, he cost plenty as a yearling and represents a powerful outfit so it would come as no surprise to see him play a lead role. Finsceal Go Deo is of a similar ilk and along with Forceful Speed is feared most.
