Forecasts

Stormy Winter (3/1), August Rain (9/2), Spanish Boy (7/1), Valetorio (8/1), Into The Future (9/1), Set The Standard (10/1), Namaqualand (11/1), Last Of The Legend (11/1), Waqaas (12/1), Push Off (12/1), Whipping Boy (14/1), Magic Blaze (16/1), Holy Man (20/1), Fitzwilliam (28/1), Foreign Field (33/1), Stop For Nothing (33/1), Before Noon (40/1)

Verdict

PUSH OFF frustrated those who made him favourite last time, but looks the one to be with once again. August Rain is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Namaqualand may grab a bit more place money.

  1. PUSH OFF (IRE)
  2. AUGUST RAIN (SAF)
  3. NAMAQUALAND (SAF)
