Forecasts

Gimmeanotherchance (2/1), Guy Gibson (11/4), Sandringham Summit (6/1), Golden Tatjana (8/1), Winter Games (12/1), Hawkbill (12/1), Majestic Touch (14/1), Ermelo (20/1), Fire 'n Flames (22/1), Kupholiwe (25/1), Fibonacci (28/1), Captain Wara (40/1), Andy Coogle (40/1), Teerex (50/1)

GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE ran to a new best last time and sets a good standard. Golden Tatjana is most likely the sternest threat, while Sandringham Summit could also figure.
