Quantum Theory (3/1), Truth (4/1), African Pride (9/2), Nyaka Nyaka (7/1), Charming Cheetah (8/1), Future Variety (8/1), Barbaresco (8/1), Pistol Pete (12/1), Slinky Mapimpi (14/1), Melech (18/1), Cosmic Star (20/1), Connery (28/1), Fire 'n Flames (33/1), Dantonfromsandton (40/1), Sheldon (40/1)

QUANTUM THEORY can come out on top. Cosmic Star could provide the chief danger, while African Pride can't be ruled out of things either.
