Forecasts

Captain Selvie (4/1), United Offer (9/2), Lost For Words (7/1), Season's Greetings (7/1), Russian Nobility (7/1), Roaming Spirit (10/1), Green Flash (10/1), Komati River (10/1), Vamanos (10/1), Mamlambo (10/1), Global Thunder (33/1), Pointer (33/1), Blizzard Snow (50/1), Hotaru (50/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN SELVIE is in decent form right now and is probably the one to beat. Russian Nobility looks second best, while Komati River can't be ruled out of things either.
