Forecasts

Port Louis (6/4), Gallic Tribe (5/2), Perfection (4/1), Bush Tracker (7/1), You Know Who (10/1), Prince Vihaan (12/1), Outofthedarkness (12/1), Tarantino (20/1), Medlers Tart (33/1)

YOU KNOW WHO has a small margin for error but it's a competitive race. Port Louis is also fancied to take a hand, while Tarantino might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
