Forecasts

Houston (15/8), Uncle Ticky Bird (9/4), Gimme Gorgeous (6/1), Desert Fox (8/1), Umthombo Wolwazi (10/1), Secret Reef (12/1), What Say You (14/1), We've Got Tonight (20/1), Insightful (22/1), Us Open (25/1), Benni In The Area (28/1), Kite Surfer (33/1), Northern King (40/1), To The King (50/1)

UNCLE TICKY BIRD quite clearly has the best form and is the one to overcome. Houston could be the one to benefit if the selection underperforms, while What Say You looks best of the remainder.
