Forecasts

Mariachi Madness (11/4), Komati River (7/2), King Rahul (9/2), Pacific (11/2), Twice As Wild (15/2), Samoa (17/2), Prized Platinum (10/1), Life Goes On (14/1), Circus Lights (20/1), Delphi Dancer (20/1), Smelting (33/1), Gal Gadot (33/1), Phala Millions (50/1), Oriental Bouquet (50/1)

Verdict

SAMOA is operating at a solid level lately and will probably take the beating. Pacific would be our next pick, while Smelting can win the battle for minor honours.
