Forecasts

American Graffiti (11/8), Zinovi (13/8), Fire 'n Flames (15/2), Linkin Navigator (8/1), Troppo Veloce (8/1), Zoombomber (10/1), Predator's Feast (14/1), Purple Pitcher (20/1), Qhawe Lami (22/1)

TROPPO VELOCE is just about up to taking this but this is an open race. Zinovi could be the sternest threat, while Fire 'N Flames comes into calculations for minor honours.
