Shirov will win. Bareev, Kamsky and Rublevsky will draw.
Shirov and Rubluvesky can surely win. I am not hereby stating that I am rooting for them. I am just expressing my respect for their sharp potent play that can bring demise to anyone at any day.
Bareev is extremely strong and his task, in my opinion is to prove that his fragile sensitiveness is a strength not a weakness. He is a strong opponent and deserves to have reached the occasion though if Leko is going to smash him to the null, the result may give the false impression that he does not belong here.
Kamsky is to my judgment the favorite. Though Gelfand can surprise.
