Forecasts

Ninja (10/3), Ruler Legend (7/2), Vellner (9/2), Martinstown (5/1), Ghasham (11/2), Paris Lights (6/1), Bringbackmemories (17/2), Olympicus (9/1), Fleet Commander (14/1), Manbehindthemoney (18/1), Chocolat Blu (20/1), Men Of Dreams (33/1), Vintage Gold (40/1), Rancho Santa Fe (50/1), Staging Post (50/1), Make A Statement (100/1), Our Scholar (100/1), Indy System (200/1), Golden Acacia (250/1)

MARTINSTOWN has a few big-race entries in the coming months and gets the nod to make a winning start to his career, with confidence increased should the market vibes be strong. Stablemate Fleet Commander is another who makes obvious paper appeal, while Ruler Legend and Paris Lights have both shown some promise on the track.
