Forecasts

Namaqualand (9/2), Money Fighter (5/1), The Contractor (13/2), Panama Kid (13/2), Valetorio (7/1), Saviour (7/1), Holy Man (17/2), Putins Promise (10/1), Written In Stone (12/1), Rock Of Africa (14/1), Magic Blaze (16/1), Silver Master (18/1), Oden (25/1), Karnallie (25/1), Master Boulder (40/1), Ice Eater (40/1)

SAVIOUR ran well behind Holy Man here last time and can strike if getting the breaks. Rock of Africa is feared most.
