Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Inherit The Rain, Teatro and Safe Return leading the charge. WHATEVER NEXT (5) finished fourth of 11 over 1200m at Fairview last start when sent out at long odds. Richard Fourie takes over the reins today. This Alan Greeff gelding looks well placed in this line-up and should prove tough to beat. TEATRO (2) in his second run this prep finished third of 10 last time over 1200m at Fairview when sent out at long odds. He has placed third-up previously and rates well as an each-way chance. SAFE RETURN (3) returned to form last start when finishing third of seven over 1400m at Fairview. Looks well placed jumping from the inside gate so expecting another big run. ROSE OF BAYEUX (4) raced well to finish a close-up third of eight last time over 1600m at Fairview when sent out at long odds. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and should be considered.
