Forecasts

Captain Arrow (1/1), Ziyasha (3/1), Dance Variety (5/1), Pineapplemintgreen (6/1), Seeking The Stars (13/2), Icy Blast (10/1), Qhawe Lami (25/1)

CAPTAIN ARROW is highest rated of these on the form book and there's little point looking elsewhere for the winner. Ziyasha chief among the rest shouldn't be underestimated.
