Forecasts

Green Gateway (4/1), Saudi Cat (5/1), City Of Love (6/1), Banff (6/1), Chapbook (15/2), Cavalry Commander (9/1), Kaalvoet (10/1), Freedom Fighter (12/1), Vibe Sa (14/1), Magic Surprise (16/1), Best Of All (18/1), Disting (18/1), Cognac (18/1), Golden Rule (20/1), Dreamworld (25/1), Soho Star (25/1), Red Mountain (40/1), Etiquette (50/1)

KAALVOET has put together a good series of efforts lately and has fair claims. Vibe Sa is another that comes into the equation, while Cavalry Commander isn't entirely out of it either.
