Forecasts

The African Queen (11/8), Etihad Rail (5/2), Vice Captain (3/1), Lady Ava (7/1)

THE AFRICAN QUEEN is bred to be suited by a bit further than this trip in time, but she's with a top yard and makes her debut in a winnable affair, so she gets the marginal vote over Vice Captain, who sets the standard but has a tame run at Beverley to shrug off after a quick turnaround. Etihad Rail is also worthy of respect on his first outing for a new stable.
