Captain Selvie²⁵

Weight: 9-0| Age: 2

T: Tony Peter J: G Lerena

Forecasts

Captain Selvie (15/8), Phantom Express (2/1), Lonely As A Cloud (3/1), Inafix (10/3), Micke's Bomb (11/2), Nkandla Gold (6/1), The Navy Lark (11/1), In The Ether (25/1), Together Again (33/1), Good To Great (40/1), Bridge Of Spies (66/1)

CAPTAIN SELVIE should be thereabouts but can't afford for much to go wrong. Phantom Express can also play a major part, while Inafix can scrap it out for third.
