Forecasts

Mvelelo (9/4), Royal Swan Master (4/1), I Salute You (5/1), Last One Standing (11/2), Capsaicin (6/1), Officer In Command (13/2), Trois Trois Quatre (7/1), Sundance Kid (15/2), Bristol Hercules (8/1), Ninety Nine Heros (14/1), Rodriguez (25/1)

LAST ONE STANDING should be bang there but will need everything to fall right. Royal Swan Master will seemingly provide most resistance, while Mvelelo is another to bear in mind.
