Forecasts

Rodriguez (3/1), Syx Hotfix (10/3), Selukwe (7/2), Sugar Blast (9/2), Let The Flag Fly (5/1), Ibutho (8/1), Aqua Bolt (14/1), Cherokee Trail (22/1), Beach Palace (25/1)

LET THE FLAG FLY holds a sizeable advantage on form. Syx Hotfix is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Rodriguez is another with the potential to figure.
