Forecasts

Rascallion (7/4), Kommetdieding (15/8), Legitimate (15/2), Mach Four (12/1), Hoedspruit (16/1), Red Lark (18/1), Dubai Lights (20/1), Northern Song (20/1), Kaptein (25/1), Crimson King (33/1), My Bestie (33/1), Fast Love (40/1), Juan Carlos (50/1)

Verdict

KOMMETDIEDING is up to taking this with a bit in hand and shouldn't be troubled too much. Kaptein is another who could have a hand in the finish, while Dubai Lights could also get a look-in.

  1. KOMMETDIEDING (SAF)
  2. KAPTEIN (SAF)
  3. DUBAI LIGHTS (SAF)
