Forecasts

Kapama (3/1), Twin Turbo (7/2), Black Thorn (4/1), Rabia The Rebel (4/1), Blue Spark (6/1), Manitoba (14/1), Drummer Dude (16/1), Pomelo (16/1), Hey Bennie (18/1), Fasinada (22/1), Altogetherlovely (25/1), Dutchessburnedette (33/1), Sitting Bull (50/1), Wylie The Great (66/1), Suntrax (100/1)

FASINADA is selected rather gingerly but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Rabia The Rebel is the most pragmatic second choice, while Kapama looks third best.
