10) SAFE PASSAGE
SAFE PASSAGE, victorious at 6 of his 9 starts, was a stunning winner of the Gr1 Daily News 2000 when said to not have been at his peak. Had he not have been surprised by Red Saxon when pipped in the Gr1 SA Classic, he would be a winner of 7 races on the trot. Mike de Kock will have him at his peak on 2 July and with Muzi Yeni in the form of his life and looking to break the Durban July ice, few will be backing against him
