Forecasts

Cane Lime 'n Soda (6/4), Vida Futura (13/8), Flinders Range (15/2), Mike The Pilot (11/1), Ideal Time (12/1), Royal Shindig (12/1), Stateofusa (14/1), Excelsior (28/1), Imperious Duke (28/1), Willo'thewisp (33/1), Super Noir (33/1)

VIDA FUTURA isn't easy to oppose on the form he has shown and looks to have a straightforward task. Cane Lime 'N Soda seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Mike The Pilot might be worth siding with for third.
