Forecasts

Famous And Rich (11/4), Landseer (4/1), Bom Bom (5/1), Khanyisa Indlela (5/1), Zoombomber (11/2), Porfirio (13/2), Tom's Act (10/1), Captain Marsala (16/1), Daring Act (28/1)

ZOOMBOMBER could strike. Khanyisa Indlela should be thereabouts, while Porfirio may grab a bit more place money.
