Forecasts

Captain Oliver (13/8), Flyingcool (3/1), Uzwano (9/2), The Mikado (8/1), Woodland Glade (10/1), Fortune Hunter (12/1), Mountainsofthemoon (14/1), Richardthefearless (14/1), Banzai Pipeline (20/1), Fire Force (25/1), Allaroundtheworld (33/1), Basie Raakvat (33/1)

MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON should give a good account but has little margin for error. Fire Force will seemingly provide most resistance, while Richardthefearless could well have a say as well.
