Forecasts

Hemisphere (5/2), Rafa Bay (9/2), It's Personal (6/1), Tiger Storm (7/1), Phantom Express (15/2), Kinshin Sha (10/1), Nkandla Gold (11/1), Qhawe Lami (12/1), Nazare (14/1), What A Tiger (16/1), Blaze A Way (18/1), Prince Of Kildare (25/1)

PHANTOM EXPRESS was the beaten market choice last time out, but is taken to make the most of this opportunity. Kinshin Sha could provide the biggest competition, while Rafa Bay is one to bear in mind too.
