Forecasts

Waqaas (13/8), Atomic Blonde (7/2), Storm Commander (5/1), Romeo's Magic (11/2), Fred (13/2), Fsquadron (10/1), River Jordan (20/1), Forever Light (20/1), Enrique (25/1), Ancient Rome (50/1), Jet Sailor (50/1)

Verdict

ATOMIC BLONDE looks to have marginally the best chance but it's an open race. Waqaas can emerge second best, while Storm Commander is one to bear in mind too.

  1. ATOMIC BLONDE (SAF)
  2. WAQAAS (AUS)
  3. STORM COMMANDER (SAF)
