Forecasts

Ibutho (2/1), Viking Red (4/1), Secret Dynasty (5/1), Sea Sponge (13/2), Brigade (7/1), Fever (15/2), Rocky Coast (9/1), Dom Seguidor (20/1), Gravitation (20/1)

FEVER should give a good account but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Sea Sponge is next best, while Secret Dynasty is another with the potential to figure.
