Forecasts

Prized Platinum (3/1), Captain Efficient (4/1), Sakhala Is'cathulo (9/2), Mariachi Madness (7/1), Phala Millions (15/2), Commander Of All (8/1), Falcon Strike (17/2), Samoa (12/1), Jet Cat (14/1), Dancing Dora (22/1), Time For Charity (22/1), Smelting (25/1), Great Barrier (28/1), Together Again (40/1), Good To Great (40/1), Si Veloce (50/1)

PRIZED PLATINUM was a shade disappointing when favourite last time out, but gets the vote again. Sakhala Is'cathulo could provide the toughest threat, while Phala Millions is another to come into the reckoning.
