Forecasts

Phaka Imali (3/1), Stevie Gee (3/1), Preemptive Strike (6/1), Mar Del Plata (13/2), Mescal (15/2), Benni In The Area (17/2), Knight Warrior (11/1), Gimme A Rainbow (12/1), Count Marsh (12/1), Cotton Ron (25/1), Heaven's Will (28/1)

STEVIE GEE looks to have narrowly the best claims. Preemptive Strike could be dangerous, while Benni In The Area is another that merits respect.
