Forecasts

Maboneng (2/1), Irontail (11/4), Batik (9/2), After Hours (9/2), Silver Clock (8/1), Meet The Captain (9/1), Queen Bomi (10/1), Waqaas (10/1), Chateau Futura (18/1), Tree Fairy (25/1), Eastern World (28/1)

Verdict

MABONENG has run several good races recently and just about gets the nod in this company. Batik is tough to ignore in the search for second, while Irontail also requires scrutiny.
