Forecasts

My Best Shot (11/8), Royal Aussie (5/2), Golden Peace (9/2), Firealley (8/1), Lanciafiamme (10/1), Global Ally (16/1), Bingwa (20/1), Green Mandarin (33/1), Anatolian Silver (33/1), Juan Carlos (33/1), Bournemouth (40/1)

ROYAL AUSSIE has largely been running well and should give backers a big run for their money. My Best Shot should be thereabouts as well, while Firealley can't be ruled out of it either.
