Forecasts

Sisyphean (4/1), Native American (9/2), Poster Paint (11/2), Daamiss (11/2), Sean (13/2), Delorean (11/1), Tafreej (12/1), Laneqash (14/1), Mothecombe (14/1), Olympic Candle (16/1), Don Vaccaro (33/1), Fiction Maker (33/1), Markoon (50/1), Ahesta Bero (50/1)

Verdict

MOTHECOMBE is unexposed and can prevail in a tricky finale. Olympic Candle can follow the selection home, while Sisyphean might have a say as well.
