Forecasts

Heart Stealer (8/11), Head Gardener (5/1), San Quintin (11/2), Millennium Dancer (17/2), Gardener's Pride (9/1), Rastignac (14/1), Home Reef (28/1), Belle's First Wave (28/1), Electric Storm (33/1)

MILLENNIUM DANCER has marginally the best all-round profile but this is an open race. Rastignac makes most appeal among the rest, while Heart Stealer also demands scrutiny.
