Forecasts

Rock Aloe (8/11), Earth Hour (9/2), American Landing (11/2), Mangrove (15/2), Seeking Wisdom (12/1), Bold Viking (16/1), Second Request (20/1), Paper Town (22/1), Bhaltair (25/1), Frikkie (40/1)

Verdict

SEEKING WISDOM has a good record at this venue and should be bang there. Earth Hour is the most realistic second preference, while American Landing commands a closer look as well.

  1. SEEKING WISDOM (SAF)
  2. EARTH HOUR (SAF)
  3. AMERICAN LANDING (SAF)
