Forecasts

Intense Approach (2/1), Millforce (5/2), Fine Margin (3/1), Donnie Devito (6/1), Hauraki Gulf (14/1)

MILLFORCE's jumping technique certainly requires refinement but he strikes as the one with the most potential in this field, so gets the nod to come out on top. Intense Approach is another who's had his fair share of jumping issues but arrives following a fine second in the Persian War, with Donnie Devito deserving respect, also.
