Forecasts

Bourbon Reserve (9/4), Yamadori (3/1), Dontshootthebarman (4/1), Rondebosch (4/1), John Wick (11/2), Johnny Appleseed (13/2), Bob's Your Uncle (7/1), Halberdier (10/1), Swing Upon A Star (20/1), Qhawe Lami (25/1)

JOHNNY APPLESEED can give all these something to think about but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Bourbon Reserve is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Dontshootthebarman edges it as the selection for third.
