Forecasts

Vida Futura (7/2), Bold Strike (4/1), Ellis Island (5/1), Ideal Time (5/1), Flinders Range (11/1), American Landing (11/1), Almighwaar (12/1), Almas Tower (16/1), Dirty Martini (16/1), War Man (18/1), Secret Link (20/1), Cairon (20/1), Magnum Fire (28/1), Drengs Ferry (33/1), Head Gardener (40/1)

ALMAS TOWER is selected rather gingerly but it's an open race. Ellis Island can also play a leading role, while American Landing isn't dismissed lightly.
