Justin Snaith, Keagan de Melo and Blaine Marx-Jacobson are the respective favourites for the Lucky Fish Top Trainers Championship, the Lucky Top Jockeys Championship and the Lucky Fish Top Apprentices Championship respectively.

Snaith is at odds of 15/10, Alan Greeff is at 18/10, Tony Peter is at 5/1, Sean Tarry is at 5/1 and Dean Smith and the De Kocks are at 25/2 and 14/1 respectively.

However, it will likely be  a two horse race between Snaith and Greeff and Snaith must be a good thing with a big yard in Cape Town together with a yard in KZN to draw from with Greeff only having his one yard at Fairview and thus being limited to one or maybe two meetings a week and Snaith likely having an average of about four a week.

In the Top Jockeys Championship De Melo is even money followed by Richard Fourie and Craig Zackey on 3/1 and 4/1 respectively with Lerena and Matsunyane on 6/1 and 16/1 respectively.

The Top Apprentice Champiohsip has Blaine Marx-Jacobson at 16/10, Anaas Mosaheb at 2/1, Dezahn Louw, Trent Mayhew and any other apprentice at 14/1 and Damyan Pillay at 20/1.
