Forecasts

Texas Sun (7/4), Zoffman (7/2), Giulia Frasi (11/2), Milestone Payment (13/2), Olympicus (9/1), Compere (10/1), Fiddlers Green (10/1), A Shin Undine (14/1), Hector Berlioz (20/1), Erbacher (22/1), Apostles Creed (25/1), Secret Rock (25/1), Fan Na Tiobratan (25/1), Spirit Of Ash (40/1), Black Leaf (100/1), Janice Joplin (125/1)

TEXAS SUN showed plenty to work on starting out at Down Royal last month and that form has already been franked by the runner-up since, so he's put forward as the answer with improvement on the cards. Zoffman has some good efforts to his name and has to be respected returning to maiden company following a break. Olympicus appeals as the sort to improve markedly and completes the shortlist.
