Neither the smart money or the BBO prognosticators are distinquishing themselves.
BBO's favorites are in 17th (just holding their noses above water)
Zia - Robson are in 40th (out of 44)
Walid ElAhmady - Tarek Sadek / Bjorn Fallenius - Roy Welland also don't seem to hit their stride.
Grats to Del'Monte - Brogeland...

"small earthquake" in the ranking.
