Forecasts

Sworder Street (6/5), Barak (6/1), African Adventure (9/1), Odd Rob (10/1), Factor Fifty (10/1), Imperial Ruby (11/1), Sunshine Silk (12/1), Shenanigans (14/1), Dawn Assault (16/1), Snow Palace (16/1), Fact (22/1), Before Noon (25/1), Drummer Dude (40/1)

Verdict

FACT has been hard to fault in recent races and is just about the pick in this line up. Imperial Ruby could be the chief danger, while Sworder Street also seems unlikely to be far away.

  1. FACT (SAF)
  2. IMPERIAL RUBY (SAF)
  3. SWORDER STREET (SAF)
