Forecasts

Shangani (1/1), Barak (3/1), Marchingontogether (5/1), Green Haze (17/2), Paybackthemoney (11/1), Imperial Ruby (20/1), African Adventure (20/1), Out Of Your League (22/1)

MARCHINGONTOGETHER stands out on form and would be folly to ignore. Green Haze could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Imperial Ruby is another that could go well.
