Forecasts

John Steinbeck (10/11), Arnaman (11/10), Izzari (2/1), Emerald Eclipse (5/2), Royal Dynamite (66/1)

If he turns out to be half as good as he's bred to be, JOHN STEINBECK will have little trouble in making a winning debut in this maiden. It will be an ominous sign for this rivals if he's strong in the betting. Arnaman performed well above market expectations when runner-up at Dundalk in March and, with improvement likely starting out for new connections, he gets the nod ahead of Emerald Eclipse for forecast purposes.
