Forecasts

Cyber Time (9/4), Khanyisa Indlela (4/1), Ancient World (5/1), Fine Admiral (8/1), Dontstopmenow (8/1), Ninety Nine Heros (9/1), Riccardo (11/1), Tin Cup (12/1), Spring Flyer (18/1), African Dusk (20/1), Bally Magic (20/1), Take To War (25/1), Monarchy (25/1)

KHANYISA INDLELA looks the one to be on if reproducing his most recent effort and sets the standard. Fine Admiral could be the answer to second place, while Tin Cup has place prospects as well.
