Forecasts

Vars Vicky (8/13), Spring Break (10/3), Battleoftrafalgar (6/1), Benji (7/1), Down To Zero (8/1), Captain Hindsight (16/1), Russian Prince (28/1), Spiritofthegroove (28/1), Graduate (80/1)

Verdict

VARS VICKY formwise has a clear edge and is quite a confident pick. Battleoftrafalgar could be the one to capitalise if the selection underperforms, while Captain Hindsight is not out of it for third place.

  1. VARS VICKY (SAF)
  2. BATTLEOFTRAFALGAR (SAF)
  3. CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT (SAF)
