Forecasts

Voldemort (3/1), Double Olympic (10/3), Benni In The Area (7/2), Knight Warrior (11/2), Khanyisa Indlela (15/2), Giambattista (8/1), Joshua Hotsnake (11/1), Future Saint (14/1), Kaapse Klopse (28/1), Move To Prove (33/1)

DOUBLE OLYMPIC should make a bold show. Voldemort is a threat, while Benni In The Area deserves some consideration too.
