Forecasts

Stone Cold (11/8), Banha Bridge (3/1), Waqaas (3/1), Shortstop (10/1), El Romiachi (12/1), Contrail (12/1), River Jordan (16/1), Me Time (28/1), Silver Master (33/1), Decadent Lady (66/1), Graduate (100/1)

WAQAAS gets a narrow vote after a better effort last time, and he won here in the summer. Me Time is most likely the chief opposition, while Contrail also looks good for a place.
