A keen contest with Potent Captain prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Bob and Global Banker. CHRONICLESOFNANIA (12) stayed on well at the finish in her comeback run over 1600m on the polytrack. Two of her three career victories have come on this course. From her good draw of two racing in a fitter state should give the males a decent run for their money. ABOVE THE HORIZON (5) fought on well when winning his last start over 1600m on the polytrack. He won his maiden over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed from his good draw of four and may be hard to peg back. GOLDEN GREY (4) won his maiden over 1600m on the polytrack last time. He finished second in his penultimate outing over this course and distance. He would have gained in confidence and with a bit of luck from the wide draw would not be a shock winner. DUMISANI (6) took on stronger rivals last time. She is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be storming home late.
