Forecasts

Ingqwele (3/1), Gran Canaria (4/1), Terminator (9/2), Lexican Point (6/1), Impact Investor (9/1), Gurkha (10/1), My Boy Lollipop (14/1), Continentalexpress (14/1), Down By The River (14/1), Open Highway (22/1), El Dante (25/1), Forward Motion (25/1), Deputy Chief (25/1), Blackberry Breeze (25/1), Global Movement (28/1), Lucky Dollar (50/1)

GRAN CANARIA earns the narrow vote but this is an open race. Terminator is probably the chief danger, while Forward Motion may be the one for third.
