Forecasts

Grappler (9/4), Blue Eyes (4/1), Ramchandani Road (9/2), Midnight Gem (6/1), Midnight Caller (13/2), Miracle And Wonder (15/2), Silly Fella (10/1), Speechmaker (16/1), Rose Willow (22/1), Father Time (40/1)

Verdict

BLUE EYES is probably the best recommendation but this is an open race. Midnight Gem ought to go well, while Miracle And Wonder commands respect as well.

  1. BLUE EYES (SAF)
  2. MIDNIGHT GEM (SAF)
  3. MIRACLE AND WONDER (SAF)
