Forecasts

Melech (7/4), Atticus Finch (2/1), Laguna Verde (13/2), Whafeef (8/1), Bingwa (17/2), East Coast (12/1), None Other (16/1), Indlamu (16/1)

Verdict

WHAFEEF has a little in hand but it promises to be touch and go. Laguna Verde can also play a leading part, while Melech commands a second look as well.
