Willow Charm and Mega Awesome look to take it up. CAMILLO CAVOUR (5) is on debut for the J A Janse Van Vuuren stable. Three-year-old gelding by Master Of My Fate from Alexa. Should hit the ground running. Watch for positive market moves. ONE EYE ON DUBAI (6) is a well-related three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Almanzor from the former top race mare Applegate who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of Mike & Mathew De Kock. Looks one of the better chances despite a tricky gate. FOREVER CANFORD (1) ran on well to get up for second at big odds at his latest appearance at Vaal over 1200m. Good signs last time and can feature in the finish. WILLOW CHARM (2) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 9 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1200m at Vaal. Worth including in this suitable contest.
