Forecasts

Stevie Gee (15/8), Purple Powahouse (9/4), Phaka Imali (9/4), Granddaddy Purple (5/1), Dark Tide (6/1), Mac Hardy (7/1), Anotherdayinafrica (8/1), Silent Trigger (12/1)

PURPLE POWAHOUSE is in a good vein of form and just about gets the nod in this company. Stevie Gee seems the most likely to capitalise if the selection fails to deliver, while Phaka Imali may grab a bit more place money.
