Forecasts

Rainbow Bridge (13/8), Catch Twentytwo (5/2), Golden Ducat (7/1), Eden Roc (10/1), Pinkerton (10/1), Ultra Magnus (12/1), Cartel Captain (20/1), Wild Coast (22/1), Trip To Africa (28/1), Silver Operator (28/1), Pearl Of Asia (66/1), Socrates (80/1), Guru's Pride (80/1), Sunset Eyes (80/1)

Verdict

ULTRA MAGNUS is back at the top of his game right now and is arguably the one they have to beat. Cartel Captain is most likely the sternest threat, while Rainbow Bridge looks best of the remainder.

  1. ULTRA MAGNUS (SAF)
  2. CARTEL CAPTAIN (SAF)
  3. RAINBOW BRIDGE (SAF)
