Forecasts

Kommetdieding (10/11), Sparkling Water (4/1), Mk's Pride (17/2), Second Base (17/2), Puerto Manzano (14/1), Zillzaal (22/1), Zeus (25/1), Shangani (28/1), Flying Carpet (33/1), Astrix (50/1), Shango (50/1), Johnny Hero (66/1), Savannah Storm (100/1)

MK'S PRIDE can land another big prize. Old rival Puerto Manzano looks the best option for the forecast, while Zillzaal may grab a bit of place money.
