King Bavarian (3/1), Mohandas (4/1), Gardener's Pride (4/1), Deputy Chief (6/1), Pied Piper (6/1), Sweeter Than Honey (9/1), Councillor (12/1), Chinaberry (14/1), Phaka Imali (20/1), Galaxy Explorer (22/1), Power Star (40/1), I Am Classy (50/1), Intuitive Spirit (66/1), The Golden Goal (80/1)

Verdict

DEPUTY CHIEF improved significantly last time after a weaker effort the time before and looks worthy of siding with. Mohandas may do best of the rest, while Gardener's Pride deserves some consideration too.
