Lots of speed predominantly from Pyro Edition, Elusive Black and Star Trooper. ROYAL KINGDOM (14) was a beaten odds-on favourite last time. He resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He looks to have ability and if not in need of the run, he should be too good for this field. ELUSIVE BLACK (9) returns from a spell and he is having his first run for the Gavin Smith stable. He has scope and if not in need of the run, he should pose a threat. GREEN OKRA (1) returns from a spell during which time he changed stables. Richard Fourie rides and there should be good improvement to come. PYRO EDITION (2) returns from a spell and he is having his first run from the Juan Nel stable. Fresh-up can place.
