Forecasts

Thunderstruck (1/1), Rulership (4/1), Ziyasha (13/2), Cosmic Star (15/2), Trompie (12/1), Mover And Shaker (16/1), Chyavana (16/1), Sheldon (16/1), Taikonaut (28/1), Far Away Winter (28/1), Danilo Danilovitch (28/1)

Verdict

ZIYASHA looks marginally the best of this bunch but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Cosmic Star is most likely the chief threat, while Chyavana comes into calculations for minor honours.

  1. Ziyasha13/2
  2. Cosmic Star15/2
  3. Chyavana16/1
