Forecasts

Hoedspruit (9/4), One Way Traffic (7/2), Vikram (7/2), Firealley (7/1), Native Tongue (12/1), Super Silvano (14/1), Seventh Gear (14/1), Cat Daddy (18/1), Rockin' Ringo (22/1)

NATIVE TONGUE gets a narrow vote but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Firealley arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Cat Daddy is another with a place chance too.
