Forecasts

Flag Bearer (9/4), Mambo Come Tesio (11/4), To The Rescue (9/2), Master Tik Tok (11/2), Fushimi Inari (7/1), Douglas Dragon (10/1), Nuclear Force (10/1), Banha Bridge (10/1), Afraad (16/1)

NUCLEAR FORCE earns the narrow vote. Flag Bearer could be the chief threat, with Mambo Come Tesio having minor place claims.
