Forecasts

Kupholiwe (4/1), Winter Baron (4/1), Donquerari (5/1), Warrior Of Royalty (8/1), Mask On (9/1), Renaissance Man (9/1), Lunarcam (10/1), B Fiftytwo (14/1), Seattle Ripper (16/1), Captain Wara (18/1), Love In Winter (20/1), Dandolo (22/1), Harley Street (25/1), Faustino (28/1), Rapid Fire (33/1)

WARRIOR OF ROYALTY looks marginally the best of this bunch. Winter Baron is a threat, while Love In Winter deserves some consideration too.
