Forecasts

Power Ranger (6/5), Rule By Force (7/2), Irontail (8/1), Dark Tide (10/1), Timbavati River (10/1), After Hours (12/1), Follow My Path (12/1), Just Eminent (12/1), Speechmaker (16/1), Mr Bodacious (16/1), Rose Willow (33/1), The Cambo (33/1)

RULE BY FORCE looked the sort to win more races when making a winning debut and will once more prove hard to catch. Just Eminent is the percentage call to finish runner-up, while Timbavati River can't be ruled out of things either.
