Kaizad should spear straight to the front of the small field. BONDED AFFAIR (7) has a handy record here on his home track with two wins and five placings from ten spins. Ready to peak now fourth-up from the break and can make his presence felt with a slight drop in grade. Former Waterhouse/Bott galloper KAIZAD (2) is having his first run for the Bruce barn but should find this easier than what he faced down south. He moved well in his recent trial in readiness for this event. Respect any push in betting. DEFIANT SPIRIT (4) is yet to miss a drum in three runs at this venue and strips fitter third-up from the break. Can put his best foot forward. PRIME ASSET (6) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,2,4,6.
