Forecasts

Raiseahallelujah (11/10), Explosive Bond (9/4), Zeus (5/1), Mambo Come Tesio (6/1), Twin Turbo (13/2), Banha Bridge (10/1), Flying Bull (14/1)

RAISEAHALLELUJAH is just about the safest pick but it's an open race. Explosive Bond is probably the main threat, while Zeus also commands respect.
