Plenty of pace from Cowdray Park and Mfethu, with the added uncertainty of the several first starters engaged. MFETHU (7) produced a promising debut effort over 1100m on this course. He showed good speed and stayed on at the business end. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he can take this race out. BOARDWALK BREEZE (9) showed speed over 1100m on this course last time, but found one too good on the day. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He has scope and is one of the leading contenders. EXOCET (8) is an unraced son of Mehmas from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray booked to ride. If not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. COWBOY COUNTRY (3) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt on debut. Can surprise fresh-up.
