Forecasts

Poblano (15/8), Rafa Bay (10/3), Vanakkam (7/2), Chapbook (4/1), Chieftain (8/1), Salute The Flag (11/1), Fire 'n Flames (50/1)

Verdict

POBLANO should give backers a decent run for their money. Salute The Flag is taken to chase the selection home, while Vanakkam is another likely to be on the premises.
