Forecasts

Desert Miracle (1/2), Smorgasbord (9/2), Castletown (8/1), Pyromaniac (14/1), Team Gold (16/1), Mitch Got His Wish (20/1), Kuuma (28/1), Fisher King (40/1), Rollwiththepunches (50/1)

DESERT MIRACLE has leading claims. Smorgasbord is probably the chief opposition, while Team Gold can't be ruled out.
