Forecasts

The Cola Kid (7/2), Moe's Legacy (4/1), Fai Fai (5/1), Johnny Johnson (11/2), Ten Club (11/2), Impeach (6/1), Katie G (9/1), Thunderous Love (11/1), Hearitfortheboys (12/1), Himawari (25/1)

In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is KATIE G, who can have her latest run ignored and had been in reasonable form prior to that. Impeach and Ten Club are others to consider.
