Forecasts

O'tenikwa (4/5), Shifting Path (11/4), On Board (5/1), Gravity (8/1), Look Forward (8/1), Lovers Lane (14/1), Seeking Peace (16/1), King Mo (20/1), Phantomoftheforest (25/1), Morning Chess (28/1)

O'TENIKWA formwise holds a considerable advantage and would be folly to overlook. Look Forward is fancied as the best alternative, while Gravity may be the one for third.
