Forecasts

One Tiger (9/4), Inafix (3/1), Samoa (9/2), Jet Cat (13/2), Twice As Wild (9/1), Phala Millions (10/1), Dancing Dora (12/1), Waitforgreenlight (22/1), Circus Lights (22/1), Gimme The Flame (25/1), Together Again (33/1), Bregardt (40/1), Si Veloce (100/1)

ONE TIGER is up to taking this easily on the form he has shown and is hard to oppose. Inafix seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Twice As Wild edges things for third.
