Forecasts

Wind Water (3/1), Mover And Shaker (3/1), Mercantour (9/2), Trompie (5/1), Raffles (5/1), Texas Red (6/1), Umthombo Wolwazi (8/1), Miss Daisy (18/1)

MOVER AND SHAKER is at the top of his game right now and has leading claims. Umthombo Wolwazi is tough to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Texas Red merits respect also.
