Forecasts

Young Rascal (13/8), Defoe (9/4), Marmelo (7/1), Mootasadir (8/1), Proschema (10/1), Communique (11/1), Laraaib (12/1), Aspetar (20/1), Blakeney Point (40/1), Pilansberg (200/1)

A fine renewal of this Group 3 contest and it is only marginally that the vote goes to last year's winner DEFOE, who may be best caught fresh and will handle underfoot conditions. Young Rascal is open to further improvement and looks a big danger, while Laraaib has won at this level, the progressive Mootasadir should not be underestimated returned to turf and Communique is a typically-tough representative from his stable. Marmelo is a high-class performer, but probably needs further.
