Forecasts

Rainbow Bridge (8/11), Seeking The Stars (4/1), Belgarion (15/2), Jet Dark (15/2), Cirillo (22/1), Catch Twentytwo (28/1), Chimichuri Run (28/1), Trip To Africa (50/1), Sovereign Spirit (66/1)

Verdict

CHIMICHURI RUN is difficult to oppose if not foiled by this different trip. Rainbow Bridge is most likely the sternest opposition, while Belgarion also demands a second look.

  1. CHIMICHURI RUN (SAF)
  2. RAINBOW BRIDGE (SAF)
  3. BELGARION (SAF)
