Forecasts

Rodeo Drive (1/1), Sovereign Grant (7/2), Basked In Glory (9/2), Khethiwe's Destiny (9/1), Lock And Key (12/1), That's My Baby (16/1), Jazz Cafe (25/1), Your Ladyship (25/1), Hot Pearl (33/1), Littleblackvelvet (40/1), Stormy Choice (40/1), Izibulo (66/1)

Verdict

RODEO DRIVE looks to have marginally the best credentials but it's an open race. Sovereign Grant arguably sets the standard among the rest, while Khethiwe's Destiny also demands consideration.
