Forecasts

Capetown Affair (4/1), Fiery Duke (4/1), Pedro (5/1), Quiz Master (6/1), Giambattista (8/1), Lou Lou The Legend (8/1), Fever (17/2), Action Stations (9/1), Sir Theodore (16/1), Son Of Silk (18/1), Lord Edward (20/1), Don Reposado (33/1)

FIERY DUKE should be in the mix but has little room for error. Fever arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Pedro looks best of the remainder.
