Forecasts

Prince Alf (11/4), Riccardo (7/2), Dark Vision (4/1), Light Warrior (13/2), West Coast Lover (7/1), Fast Draw (9/1), Purple Dominance (10/1), Freezing Fast (11/1), Queen Noor (12/1), Passing Shot (14/1), Forest Phoenix (25/1), Sierradeltasierra (33/1), Just Smile (40/1), Kasai Velvet (50/1)

Verdict

PRINCE ALF came up short last time, but is consistent and looks worth another chance. Freezing Fast is hard to ignore in the search for second, while Light Warrior is another with a place chance too.

  1. PRINCE ALF (SAF)
  2. FREEZING FAST (SAF)
  3. LIGHT WARRIOR (SAF)
