Forecasts

Sovereign Soldier (11/4), Corvette Captain (9/2), The It Factor (11/2), Hey Boy (11/2), Crank It Up (6/1), Go Man Go (15/2), Master Of Destiny (9/1), Keep On Dancing (11/1), What A Blast (14/1), Leslies Pathtofame (14/1), Run To Denmark (16/1), Immortelle (22/1), Master Tobe (28/1)

Verdict

SOVEREIGN SOLDIER continues to run well and just about gets the nod in this field. What A Blast ought to be involved as well, while Hey Boy isn't entirely out of it either.

  1. SOVEREIGN SOLDIER (SAF)
  2. WHAT A BLAST (SAF)
  3. HEY BOY (SAF)
