Forecasts

Nkwenkwezi (5/2), Sky Pillar Rock (4/1), Banha Bridge (5/1), Casus Belli (6/1), Eiffel Tower (13/2), Pretty Analia (8/1), Instant Attraction (10/1), One More Star (25/1), Full Go (50/1)

SKY PILLAR ROCK just about gets the nod in this company. Instant Attraction looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Casus Belli could well have a say too.
