Forecasts

Ike Sport (15/8), Mullinaree (11/4), Fourofakind (10/3), Pearly Island (7/1), American Gerry (8/1), Salley Gardens (8/1), Runswick Bay (14/1), Lunar Contact (14/1), Lifetime Legend (14/1), Flamelco (25/1)

The vote goes to IKE SPORT, who has raised his game since returning from a break and there's a good chance that this 5-y-o has more to offer. Mullinaree gained his breakthrough success over C&D last month and is feared most ahead of Fourofakind.
