Forecasts

Quest For The Best (4/1), Two Of Us (4/1), Sir Pom (9/2), Ice Kingdom (5/1), Happy Wanderer (11/2), Grey Ocean (7/1), Geronimo (8/1), Pedro (10/1), Hippocrates (10/1), We All Chomies (11/1), Gunsmoke (14/1), Don Reposado (25/1)

ICE KINGDOM showed much improved form on his latest run and is arguably the one to aim at. Grey Ocean is most likely the primary challenger, while Pedro might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
