Analyst Verdict

Past Winners

Analyst's Verdict

The newcomers could come to the fore, with preference for GIANT SEQUOIA who is bred to be smart and has Ryan Moore on board for debut. His stablemate Aix La Chapelle isn't taken lightly, though, from a family his leading yard has enjoyed plenty of success with, while To Infinity also catches the eye on paper.

Betting Forecast : 2/13 Giant Sequoia, 7/24.5 To Infinity, 4/15 Aix La Chapelle, 7/18 Breath Of Paradise, 10/111 Selwyn, 11/112 Bull Shark, 66/167 Peckedbytheparrott
