Forecasts

Igugulethu (11/8), Final Try (9/2), Run The World (9/2), Gold Gunner (5/1), King's Ransom (11/2), One Scotch (6/1), Pedro (10/1), Pyromaniac (18/1), American Dream (28/1), Oliver Twist (28/1), Rototo (40/1)

KING'S RANSOM has marginally the best all-round profile but can't afford to put a foot wrong. Gold Gunner is most likely the sternest threat, while Pyromaniac should go well too.
