Forecasts

Malmoos (11/10), Got The Greenlight (5/2), Summer Pudding (3/1), Second Base (11/1), Divine Odyssey (66/1), Johnny Hero (66/1), Barahin (66/1), Cirillo (80/1), Tierra Del Fuego (100/1)

Verdict

SUMMER PUDDING has a very good chance on form and ought to win comfortably. Got The Greenlight is the most pragmatic second choice, while Divine Odyssey can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. SUMMER PUDDING (SAF)
  2. GOT THE GREENLIGHT (SAF)
  3. DIVINE ODYSSEY (SAF)
