Forecasts

Calibre Crest (5/4), Queen Of Shadows (4/1), Perfect Witness (4/1), Meridius (11/2), Climate Control (10/1), African Torrent (11/1), Bey Suyay (11/1), Greek Miss (12/1), Cirillo (16/1), Kaptein (20/1), Barneys Pride (20/1), Baby Shooz (40/1)

15:05 Turffontein - 18 June 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

QUEEN OF SHADOWS is just about up to taking this but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Calibre Crest is the most pragmatic second choice, while Bey Suyay also merits respect.
