Forecasts

Midnight Badger (7/2), Samuel Salt (9/2), Right Choice (15/2), Successful Secret (8/1), Jet Captain (9/1), True Brit (12/1), Eyes On Tiger (12/1), Twice As Splendid (14/1), The Makwakkers (14/1), Procrastinator (16/1), Meet The Captain (16/1), Tiki Taka (16/1), Grindelwald (16/1), Gal Gadot (16/1), Informative (18/1), Blue Eyes (18/1), Tiger In The Sun (20/1), Excellarator (33/1), Urban Rock (40/1), Freedom Dancer (80/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT BADGER's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and he has leading claims. Tiki Taka looks only to be playing for second at best, while Eyes On Tiger comes into calculations for minor honours.

  1. MIDNIGHT BADGER (SAF)
  2. TIKI TAKA (SAF)
  3. EYES ON TIGER (SAF)
