Forecasts

Malmoos (4/5), Second Base (5/2), Flying Carpet (11/1), Pamushana's Pride (14/1), Bold Jazz (16/1), Bingwa (25/1), Baymax (25/1), Kingsley's Heart (28/1), Validus (28/1), Shah Akbar (33/1), Blue Moon City (66/1), The Kop (66/1), Midnight Caller (66/1), Fsquadron (80/1)

MALMOOS isn't easy to oppose on the form he has shown and is the one to beat. Second Base should be thereabouts, while Flying Carpet is the other candidate for the three.
