Forecasts

Secret Is Ours (5/2), Secret Giver (10/3), West Point (8/1), Anatura (8/1), Elusive Swann (9/1), Fsquadron (9/1), Golden Tune (12/1), Orus Apollo (16/1), Mister Blue Sky (16/1), Leshawes (18/1), Dance Partner (20/1), So Long Spring (25/1), Hidden Agenda (25/1), My Kingdom (28/1), Evoke (33/1), Signals (40/1)

Verdict

ELUSIVE SWANN was a bit disappointing when favourite last time out, but looks worth trusting this time. Secret Is Ours seemingly poses the biggest danger, while Secret Giver can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. ELUSIVE SWANN (SAF)
  2. SECRET IS OURS (SAF)
  3. SECRET GIVER (SAF)
