Forecasts

Tladi Mothwana (9/4), She's A Machine (5/2), Sovereign Grant (9/2), Care Forgot (13/2), Back At The George (15/2), Hierkommiebokkie (8/1), Lucrative (14/1), One Smart Cookie (25/1)

Verdict

TLADI MOTHWANA formwise has little to fear here and looks to have been found a very good opening. She's A Machine should be involved at the business end too, while Sovereign Grant might be hard to keep out of the minor money.

  1. Tladi Mothwana9/4
