Plenty of pressure expected over the mile. FLOWER FESTIVAL (6) is one of the better bets on the programme. She has good recent form lines to her name. She found one too good on the day over this distance on the polytrack last time. She has won twice, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. It is encouraging that Luyolo Mxothwa steps back into the saddle and she should be competitive. ROTOTO (5) stayed on when fourth over this distance on the polytrack last time. He drops back in class and is one of the leading chances. BEER WITH THE BOYS (9) ran a good race when third over 2000m on the turf last time. He was reported to be not striding out that day. He has won once, finished second once and third once from four starts over this distance. Has each-way claims. CATCH THE TUNE (3) ran a fair race over this course and distance with the cheekpieces fitted, three weeks ago. On best form shown, he would not be a shock winner.
