Plenty of pressure with Jp's Palace and Go Grayson Go leading the charge. ZEITZ (13) will find this easier than last start when eighth over 2200m in the G1 Durban July at this track, that effort coming on the back of a win two back in Group 3 class at this track. Better placed in this company and can immediately bounce back. BETTER MAN (4) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1600m at this track when charging home late. This looks an ideal assignment. ISIVIVANE (8) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 2200m at this track, clocking in 3 lengths from the winner. Should be involved in the finish. TALK TO THE MASTER (1) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1600m contest at this track last time out by 0.6 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
