Forecasts

Path Of Choice (9/4), Timbavati River (5/2), Homer Fidget (6/1), Phantomoftheforest (7/1), Admiral's Ransom (7/1), Humble Tune (9/1), American Dream (12/1), Irontail (12/1), We All Chomies (14/1), Dirty Martini (16/1), Nkalanzinzi (28/1), Bennelong Point (28/1), Absolu Noir (66/1)

TIMBAVATI RIVER looks to have just about the best credentials but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Homer Fidget is just about preferred for second, while Path Of Choice also requires respect.
