Forecasts

Sovereign Spirit (5/1), Sing Out Loud (5/1), Nexus (6/1), Sachdev (6/1), Hudoo Magic (12/1), Cat Daddy (12/1), Majestic Mozart (12/1), Love Happens (14/1), Sir Michael (14/1), Seventh Gear (16/1), Herodotus (16/1), Capoeira (18/1), Silver Host (22/1), Captain Flinders (28/1), Super Silvano (33/1), King Of Gems (50/1)

LOVE HAPPENS looks marginally the best of these in an open contest. Cat Daddy is a sound alternative, while Sir Michael also demands respect.
