Forecasts

Studio City (2/9), Hilltop Gold (6/1), Betterdaysrcoming (14/1), Zing Up (16/1), Westown Lane (20/1), Sam's Xpress (33/1)

STUDIO CITY took a step forward from his debut when second in a C&D maiden last time and a performance of similar merit might well be enough for him to go one better. Hilltop Gold looks the chief threat on form, while Betterdaysrcoming looks the pick of the debutants.
