Forecasts

Kalahari Blue (2/1), Var Park (9/4), Pontiac (9/2), War Queen (13/2), Cityscape (7/1), Empress Game (12/1), Beaded Gown (18/1), Inafix (20/1), Tre Amici (28/1), Herecomestherain (80/1)

Verdict

KALAHARI BLUE looks to have more or less the best credentials in an open contest. Var Park should take a hand, while War Queen is another with the potential to be on the premises.

  1. Kalahari Blue2/1
  2. Var Park9/4
  3. War Queen13/2
