Forecasts

Gorgeous Dude (7/4), Pongola (4/1), Mac Hardy (13/2), Eventidor (15/2), Porfirio (15/2), Querari's Dream (17/2), Richardthefearless (17/2), Fireburst (9/1)

Verdict

PORFIRIO has a little in hand but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Pongola could provide the chief opposition, while Fireburst is prominent among those with minor place claims.

  1. Porfirio15/2
  2. Pongola4/1
  3. Fireburst9/1
