Forecasts

Desert Pride (3/1), Miss Khalifa (5/1), Brooklyn Bridge (7/1), Feather The Nest (8/1), Flying First Class (8/1), Thandekhile (9/1), Readysetglo (10/1), Hear The Trumpet (14/1), Burnt Jasper (20/1), Louvain (22/1), Get Set (22/1), Malteza (25/1), Make A Penny (25/1), Loralei (28/1), Super Fine (33/1), St Joseph's Lily (40/1)

Verdict

GET SET appeals best of these by a narrow margin but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Thandekhile could provide the hardest opposition, while Brooklyn Bridge deserves some consideration too.

  1. GET SET (SAF)
  2. THANDEKHILE (SAF)
  3. BROOKLYN BRIDGE (SAF)
