Forecasts

Battle Force (7/4), Spanish Boy (10/3), Chief Of State (11/2), Rock The Globe (7/1), Fitzwilliam (10/1), Sacred Arrow (12/1), Double 'O' Eight (14/1), Aqua Bolt (14/1), Category Four (16/1), Holy Man (20/1), American Hustle (33/1)

Verdict

FITZWILLIAM looks marginally the best of this bunch but it promises to be touch and go. Rock The Globe is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Holy Man also looks good for a place.

  1. FITZWILLIAM (SAF)
  2. ROCK THE GLOBE (SAF)
  3. HOLY MAN (SAF)
