Forecasts

Persistance (5/4), Kalahari Ferrari (10/3), Varistocracy (4/1), Line Of Power (11/2), Baltimore Jack (7/1), Power Grid (15/2), Rostropovich (15/2), Impressive Queen (11/1), Princess Santo (16/1), Empire Glory (28/1)

Verdict

PERSISTANCE looked an improved animal on his latest start and has prime claims. Impressive Queen is another who could play a role in proceedings, while Power Grid might be worth siding with for third.

  1. PERSISTANCE (SAF)
  2. IMPRESSIVE QUEEN (SAF)
  3. POWER GRID (SAF)
