Forecasts

Frangipani (6/4), Ethical (7/4), Nkwenkwezi (9/2), Blood Of Eden (15/2), Lucky Chance (8/1), Sassy Lassie (20/1), Global Royalty (33/1), Matts Rocket (40/1), Cool Reggae (66/1), Umami (100/1)

FRANGIPANI has been holding her form well of late and gets the narrow vote in an open race. Ethical is probably the main threat, while Blood Of Eden also commands respect.
