Forecasts

Orus Apollo (11/10), Smiley River (13/8), Manterio (4/1), Rainy Season (9/2), Wylie The Great (12/1), Light Without (20/1), French Leave (28/1), Drummer Dude (33/1)

Verdict

ORUS APOLLO couldn't send favourite backers home happy last time, but looks worth trusting this time. Rainy Season is most likely the toughest opposition, while Wylie The Great is the other candidate for the three.

  1. ORUS APOLLO (SAF)
  2. RAINY SEASON (SAF)
  3. WYLIE THE GREAT (SAF)
