Forecasts

Pontiac (11/10), Viva De Janeiro (15/8), Archimides (7/2), Big Five (11/1), We Are The Logans (25/1), Cash Slip (33/1), Palindrome (33/1), King's Express (40/1), Going Global (40/1), Master Of Defense (40/1)

ARCHIMIDES' overall form just gives him the edge but it promises to be touch and go. Pontiac makes most appeal among the others, while Viva De Janeiro looks third best.
