Forecasts

Dawn Till Dusk (9/4), The Shepherd (5/2), Mocha Blend (7/2), Rollo The Viking (4/1), Sign Of Fate (8/1), Tirpitz (9/1), Ingqwele (12/1), Afropolitan (14/1), Officer In Command (14/1), Capsaicin (40/1), Etiquette (80/1), Sequoia (100/1)

SIGN OF FATE looks to have marginally the best chance but will need to be on song. The Shepherd is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while Dawn Till Dusk is another with place prospects too.
