Forecasts
Ardean Lass (9/4), Sweet As Candy (4/1), Arctic Vodka (9/2), Mankala (7/1), Behindthelines (15/2), Crawfords Mill (14/1), Hangard (20/1), Hardrock Davis (28/1), Bafana Blue (33/1)
Quite a competitive opener for the card and certainly stronger than many races of this type with a fair few expected to show some improvement. Ardean Lass is the pick of the two Crawford runners and a repeat of her last run here will see her go close. It’s not hard to see the likes of Hangard and Mankala improving in the future along with the likes of Behindthelines. Sweet As Candy is likely to enjoy this trip but the experienced ARCTIC VODKA deserves to win a race like this and is given the vote here after his good second here in a handicap last time.
