Forecasts

Native Ruler (7/2), Okavango (4/1), Underworld (6/1), Holding Thumbs (6/1), Future Swing (7/1), Narina Trogon (9/1), Shoot The Rapids (12/1), Indian Ocean (12/1), Selukwe (14/1), I Salute You (16/1), Cape Eagle (22/1), Madison Valley (25/1), Thunee Playa (40/1), Infinite Wonder (40/1)

INDIAN OCEAN appears to have just enough in hand to take this but this is an open race. Underworld can also play a significant role, while Narina Trogon is another worth looking at.
