Forecasts

Longsword (11/4), Lovegrass (10/3), What A Tiger (9/2), Esquevelle (13/2), Kinshin Sha (7/1), Munchkin (8/1), Bob (17/2), Stormy Seas (16/1), Nkandla Gold (20/1), Dontshootthebarman (25/1)

WHAT A TIGER looks marginally the pick in this field but it's an open race. Longsword is preferred for the forecast, while Lovegrass might be tough to keep out of the minor places.
