Forecasts

William Robertson (8/15), Sun Blushed (6/1), Khethiwe's Destiny (15/2), No Filter (10/1), Donquerari (11/1), Shipholia (12/1), Captain Bombshell (20/1), Except Temptation (33/1), Hithemhardsunshine (33/1)

Verdict

WILLIAM ROBERTSON has a very good chance on form and is well up to winning this. No Filter is also in with a shout, while Shipholia edges it for third.
