Forecasts

The Octagon (7/4), Skittles Skies (10/3), Bregardt (7/2), King Of Numbers (5/1), Highveld Storm (10/1), Oklahoma Twister (10/1), Stalwart (33/1), Destiny Fulfilled (33/1), Prince Of Miracles (40/1), It's Up To Me (40/1), Solamente (40/1), Silver Seven (50/1)

SKITTLES SKIES has a significant edge on form and there is no need to look elsewhere for the winner. The Octagon makes most appeal of the remainder, while Oklahoma Twister can scrap it out for third.
