Forecasts

Secret Is Ours (3/1), Quattro Passi (7/2), Coming In Hot (5/1), Humble Tune (11/2), Electric Gold (6/1), Mcebisi (6/1), Sir Tallin (7/1), Ashanti Sword (20/1), Orus Apollo (25/1)

QUATTRO PASSI's overall form just gives him the edge but it's an open race. Electric Gold is probably the chief opposition, while Coming In Hot also commands a closer look.
