Forecasts

Hat's Pride (13/8), Guy Gibson (15/8), Bingwa (7/1), Brenden James (7/1), Global Ally (15/2), Final Try (11/1), Golden Peace (22/1), Red William (33/1), Joker Man (40/1), Destiny's Angel (66/1)

GLOBAL ALLY has slender claims but this is an open race. Hat's Pride is another holding claims, while Final Try commands respect as well.
