Forecasts

Smiley River (9/4), Orus Apollo (3/1), Western Dance (5/1), Gold Griffin (5/1), Fred (11/2), Light Without (10/1), Laconia (16/1), Wylie The Great (20/1)

Verdict

LACONIA should be bang there. Light Without is likely to be waiting in the wings if the selection fails to deliver, while Smiley River is another to come into the reckoning.

  1. LACONIA (SAF)
  2. LIGHT WITHOUT (SAF)
  3. SMILEY RIVER (SAF)
