Forecasts

Atomic Blonde (3/1), Walton Hall (4/1), Khanyisa Indlela (9/2), Living Waters (11/2), Teichman (13/2), Deep Global (17/2), Fever (14/1), Stateofusa (16/1), Django (18/1), Ventriloquist (20/1), Final Occasion (25/1), Khiza (25/1), Head Gardener (33/1)

DJANGO looks to have just about the best credentials but has little room for error. Ventriloquist is probably the toughest threat, while Deep Global is one to bear in mind as well.
