Forecasts

Just Be Nice (15/8), Bushveld (11/4), Nyali Beach (6/1), Bee In My Bonnet (13/2), Rosaprima (13/2), Rattle Bag (12/1), Mamaquera (12/1), Quantum (14/1), Big City Girl (16/1), Follow The Flow (16/1), Gimme The Flame (16/1), Lunar Ballade (18/1), Hotchiwitchi (25/1)

BUSHVELD holds a significant advantage on the form book and is going to be hard to beat. Mamaquera is just about preferred for second, ahead of Lunar Ballade.
