Forecasts

Arividicio (5/4), Kalahari Blue (6/4), Johnny Dogs (7/1), Luthuli (10/1), Funky Music (14/1), Sundance Kid (16/1), Java House (20/1), Prosper's Gift (20/1), Fasinada (20/1), Big City Girl (20/1), Rattle Bag (20/1), Timeforthat (33/1), Mandala Effect (33/1)

KALAHARI BLUE has a very good chance on what he has achieved so far and is going to be tough to beat. Arividicio could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Fasinada can scrap it out for third.
