Forecasts

Cosmic Highway (11/8), Seeking The Stars (2/1), Speed Machine (6/1), Nexus (9/1), Wild Coast (16/1), Sachdev (20/1), Silver Operator (33/1), Majestic Mozart (33/1), Captain Flinders (40/1), Snow Report (50/1), Seventh Gear (66/1)

SILVER OPERATOR is quite easily the best of these on form and will be tough to beat. Speed Machine could have the most to offer of the remainder, while Nexus also seems unlikely to be far away.
