Forecasts

Validus (7/2), Double Martini (4/1), Mohican (9/2), Somasonic (9/2), Birdwatcher (8/1), Contrail (17/2), Bold Resolve (17/2), Fred (11/1), Willo'thewisp (14/1), Hello Happiness (33/1), Twice As Special (40/1)

Verdict

MOHICAN is pretty consistent and looks to have narrowly the best claims. Validus is most likely the toughest opposition, while Fred is another to bear in mind.

  1. MOHICAN (ARG)
  2. VALIDUS (SAF)
  3. FRED (SAF)
