Forecasts

Umzolozolo (15/8), Royal Mermaid (3/1), Takatalvi (7/2), Magic Maverick (8/1), Q For Love (8/1), Roy's Grace (10/1), Call Me Harriet (10/1), Sheezarocket (14/1), Perfectly Picked (14/1), Twiceascore (25/1), Kesari (66/1), Side Chick (80/1), Seeking Space (100/1)

ROYAL MERMAID has just about the best endorsements. Umzolozolo is probably the toughest threat, while Takatalvi is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
