Forecasts

Cairo (4/7), Warrior Lion (10/3), Gulf Of Mexico (13/2), Voice Of Reason (14/1), Our Boy Wes (14/1), Kingswood (25/1), Malacanne (25/1), High Court Judge (50/1), Broad Daylight (50/1), Pearl Of Australia (66/1)

This looks a strong maiden with CAIRO fancied to build on the promise of his runner-up effort on debut over 6f at this track 3 weeks ago. Stablemate Gulf of Mexico cost seven-figures as a yearling so he demands respect, along with Warrior Lion.
