Forecasts

Raven Black (11/10), Chocolate Soldier (3/1), Karangetang (9/2), Address The Nation (13/2), Nkandla Gold (8/1), Swing Upon A Star (10/1), Foreverinmydreams (11/1), Aussenkehr (66/1)

KARANGETANG is running creditably and is just about the pick in this field. Address The Nation is probably the toughest threat, while Nkandla Gold is also in the running for some place money at least.
