Forecasts

Good Traveller (7/2), Tempting Fate (7/2), Socrates (7/2), Princekresh (4/1), Chantyman (5/1), Pearl Of Asia (7/1), Isivunguvungu (11/1), Filippo (11/1), Rapid Fire (12/1), Ishnana (14/1), Faustino (18/1)

SOCRATES looks to have more or less the best credentials. Princekresh is most likely the toughest threat, while Tempting Fate deserves respect as well.
