Forecasts

Ingqwele (5/2), Tobacconist (4/1), Shotgun Willie (11/2), Jazz Festival (7/1), Madison Blues (17/2), Hiawatha Goldberg (12/1), Light Of Day (12/1), Attaboy (18/1), Bunting (18/1), One Irish Rover (20/1), Global Movement (22/1), El Draque (22/1), Quick Star (25/1), Beach Palace (28/1), Release Me (28/1), Oh My Word Its Roy (33/1)

INGQWELE can win again. Shotgun Willie is most likely the main threat, while Light Of Day deserves some consideration too.
