Forecasts

In The Bag (15/8), Lions Eye (9/4), Ultra Quick (6/1), Lou Lou The Legend (7/1), Phaka Imali (8/1), Attaboy (16/1), Porfirio (16/1), Lake Como (18/1), Mamas Baby (22/1), Iron Will (28/1), Professor Lupin (33/1)

LIONS EYE let his backers down last time, but is worth keeping onside. Porfirio is the percentage call to finish runner-up, while In The Bag looks the one for the minor money.
