Forecasts

Gale Warning (13/8), River Fern (3/1), O Space O (15/2), Good Shine (15/2), Timeline (9/1), Smiddyburn (10/1), World Soprano (18/1), Alesian Beau (20/1), Elusive Bomba (28/1), Miss Mackie (33/1), Mediterraneanflame (66/1)

Verdict

TIMELINE's overall form just puts her out in front and she shades preference over Elusive Bomba who looks the best bet for second. River Fern can't be ruled out either.

  2. Elusive Bomba28/1
