Forecasts

Defender Of Rights (5/4), After Hours (4/1), Silk Garden (4/1), Conker The World (9/2), Feather The Nest (15/2), Maboneng (8/1), Written In Stone (9/1), Lulu's Boy (10/1), Meet The Captain (14/1), Bird In Space (20/1), Smelting (20/1), Magic Flower (40/1)

Verdict

DEFENDER OF RIGHTS frustrated those who made her favourite last time, but still appeals as the most obvious option. Feather The Nest is fancied to chase the selection home, while Maboneng also has claims.
