Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Solid pace to be set up by Red Knot booting up underneath His Master's Voice and Kakiebos who charge across from wide out. IDEAL FUTURE (5) was running on well when finishing second over 2000m on this course last time. She has won twice and finished second once from seven starts on this track. Has a 4kg claimer in the saddle and from her good draw of three can notch up her fourth-career victory. VIVA DE JANEIRO (4) is better than his last start run over 1600m would suggest. He tries the 1800m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer should be fighting out the finish. KAKIEBOS (3) finished fourth of eight last start over 2000m at this track, an improvement on her fifth at Turffontein Inside the run before. Rates well as a leading chance. RED KNOT (1) broke through for her maiden win over 1600m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Inside draw will assist and she can go back-to-back.
