Forecasts

Sardinian Warrior (4/7), Silver Sword (5/1), Storm Star (7/1), Kalamunda (8/1), Padishakh (28/1), Savvy Victory (33/1)

SARDINIAN WARRIOR looked a Group horse in the making when bolting up over C&D last time and he can prove himself better than an opening mark of 97. The thriving Kalamunda should go well and Silver Sword is likely to put up another solid showing.
