Forecasts

Alpha Crucis (3/1), Wonder Legend (9/2), Bill Silvers (5/1), Maghlaak (6/1), Indemnity (6/1), Captain Wierzba (10/1), Sweet Reward (11/1), Qitaal (12/1)

Cases can be made for most, but the most persuasive is for WONDER LEGEND, who boasts some strong 3-y-o form and has been gelded ahead of his return. A first-time hood/tongue tie goes on, and he can get the better of Indemnity, who has finished runner-up on 3 all-weather starts last year and now makes his handicap/turf debut. Bill Silvers and the returning Maghlaak can fight out third spot.
