Forecasts

Nerano (2/1), I Bid You Ajou (9/4), Card Shark (7/2), Nedita (9/2), Artful Approach (5/1), Western City (6/1), The Bear Trap (17/2), Puturhandstogether (16/1), Currumbin (20/1), Hoover Dam (22/1), Alex Belardo (25/1), Hanoi (50/1), Jurality (66/1), My Mate Tony (100/1), Highland Mist (125/1), Maxwell Smart (150/1), Lorr's Girl (200/1)

Verdict

NERANO cost plenty last year and December's debut over C&D was full of promise, ultimately finishing third. Sure to build on that, he's the one to beat, with the quirky The Bear Trap and I Bid You Ajou a couple of potential threats.

  1. NERANO (USA)
  2. THE BEAR TRAP (IRE)
  3. I BID YOU AJOU (FR)
