Forecasts

Fine Admiral (15/8), Safe Space (5/2), Zoombomber (7/2), Wave Warrior (11/2), Ravens Sword (6/1), King Bavarian (10/1), Bally Magic (14/1), Oh My Word Its Roy (25/1), Ebony Bay (28/1)

KING BAVARIAN has a fair chance. Ravens Sword should be thereabouts, while Safe Space may grab a bit more place money.
