Forecasts

Vihaan's Queen (7/4), Broadway Girl (3/1), Miss Platina (4/1), African Beat (13/2), Escapologist (13/2), Qondanekukhanyeni (10/1), Hot Strike (16/1), Sascha's Dream (25/1)

VIHAAN'S QUEEN is probably the best recommendation but has next to no margin for error. Broadway Girl could be the answer to second spot, while Qondanekukhanyeni can win the battle for minor honours.
