Forecasts

Deal Maker (9/2), Tiger Storm (5/1), Abound (5/1), His Lordship (13/2), Blindfire (17/2), There She Goes (10/1), Misty Metal (12/1), Saketini (14/1), Lonely As A Cloud (16/1), Time Will Tell (16/1), One Tiger (18/1), Phala Millions (20/1), Oriental Bouquet (20/1), Inafix (20/1), Daring Act (25/1), Nkandla Gold (33/1), In The Ether (40/1), Circus Lights (50/1)

ABOUND has been in decent form of late and just about sets the standard. Phala Millions could be the sternest opposition, while Deal Maker is one to bear in mind as well.
