Forecasts

Glawari (5/4), Thing Called Love (15/8), Sakhala Is'cathulo (3/1), Knockemstiff (10/1), Lord Danon Platina (14/1), Hat Man (20/1), Pearl Harbor (40/1)

THING CALLED LOVE couldn't send favourite backers home happy when last seen, but still appeals as the best option. Glawari could provide the toughest threat, while Sakhala Is'cathulo could go well too.
