Northern European and Pista Resistance should set a strong clip. ELUSIVE DRAGON (1) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1200m in Group 2 class at Greyville on July 26. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. GO FOR BROKE (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Vaal over 1400m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. CHAMPAGNE AIR (4) raced once in the maiden preparation when eighth at Turffontein Standside over 1160m back on June 7. Expected to be right there at the business end. PISTA RESISTANCE (3) looks a genuine hope first-up. NORTHERN EUROPEAN (2) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1160m at Turffontein Standside after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
