Forecasts

Destiny Of Souls (2/1), Ballroom Bliss (3/1), Stratospheric (4/1), Luthuli (6/1), Bey Suyay (15/2), Twin Turbo (11/1), Terra Time (14/1), The Kop (20/1)

Verdict

BALLROOM BLISS has been in decent form of late and just about gets the nod in this company. Bey Suyay likely poses the biggest threat, while Destiny Of Souls is one to bear in mind as well.

  1. Ballroom Bliss3/1
  2. Bey Suyay15/2
  3. Destiny Of Souls2/1
