Forecasts

Mad Carew (6/5), Imperial Way (5/4), Play The Dane (10/1), Golden Oriole (16/1), Still Busy (28/1), Southerner (50/1), La Guerra (50/1)

Verdict

Golden Oriole was quite an expensive purchase so connections will be hoping he steps up on his debut run, but the two to concentrate on are IMPERIAL WAY and Mad Carew. The selection is the more experienced of the pair and that might prove the difference if it gets close.
  1. Imperial Way
  2. Mad Carew
  3. Golden Oriole
