Forecasts

Bootlegger (9/4), Exit To Where (10/3), Bafana Blue (5/1), I'm To Blame (7/1), Cooking Fat (8/1), William Of Orange (10/1), Court Dreaming (16/1), Tanarpino (22/1)

Verdict

Cases can be made for the majority of these. Preference is for BAFANA BLUE, who did the job well at Wetherby on penultimate start and his recent effort in a Perth marathon was highly respectable. The 10-y-o remains on an attractive mark. Bootlegger arrives here in good form and is a much-respected main danger, while William of Orange also enters calculations.

  1. BAFANA BLUE
  2. BOOTLEGGER (IRE)
  3. WILLIAM OF ORANGE
