Just a small field but William Robertson, Mover And Shaker and Ice Star can ensure the pace is genuine. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (2) won well over 1200m at Scottsville last start when sent out as the favourite. He is racing in top form having won three of his last five starts and placed second in the other two. Jumping from a good draw of four looks well placed to go back-to-back. QUANTUM THEORY (5) ran a good race when second of nine over 1160m last time. He has won once and finished second four times from eight starts on this course. Jumps from an inside draw and should be finishing in the first three. MOUNT PILATUS (6) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. He resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up over 1200m at this track is well worth considering. ICE STAR (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside when finishing eighth of 12. She races well over today's trip and jumping from an inside draw looks well placed in this line-up to return to form.
