Forecasts

Ziyasha (5/2), Qhawe Lami (5/1), Philispiel (11/2), Warrior Of Royalty (11/2), Quandary (6/1), Love In Winter (17/2), Dandolo (9/1), Donquerari (12/1), Valiente (16/1), Sabatini (16/1), Chara Sands (25/1), Faustino (28/1)

ZIYASHA was slightly disappointing when favourite last time out, but gets the vote again. Warrior Of Royalty seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Chara Sanda merits respect as well.
