Forecasts

Dual At Dawn (9/2), Jaipur Jewel (9/2), Spin Doctor (5/1), Waqaas (13/2), Here Is The Tiger (7/1), Mcebisi (9/1), River Jordan (9/1), Letsdoit (12/1), Last Cheer (16/1), Tromso (16/1), Mike The Pilot (22/1), Sea Ways (22/1), Track Commander (25/1), Tambora (25/1), War Jewel (25/1), My Kingdom (40/1)

JAIPUR JEWEL is arguably the one the others have to beat. Tromso also comes into the equation, while Waqaas demands respect as well.
