Forecasts

Tizona (15/8), Black Egret (7/2), Mr Molony (5/1), Vitellius (6/1), Golden Spoon (7/1), Sage King (8/1), Mcebisi (8/1), Bright Blue Sky (14/1), Vesuvio (22/1), Splendid Season (22/1), Flying Grace (25/1), In Cahoots (25/1), Letsdoit (33/1), Ice Eater (40/1)

Verdict

SAGE KING earns the narrow vote but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Tizona is most likely the toughest threat, while Mcebisi enters calculations for third place.
