Forecasts

Rafeef's Choice (5/2), Quanabi (3/1), Sting Ray (6/1), Umhlali (15/2), Fairy Tripp (17/2), Alittlebitnaughty (9/1), Fort J'adore (9/1), Spirited Flight (10/1), Hatta (11/1), Time Is Ticking (25/1), Mystique Rouge (40/1)

QUANABI was beaten when prominent in the market last time, but gets the vote again. Spirited Flight appeals most of the remainder, while Sting Ray might be worth siding with for third.
