Cruise Control has enough early speed to find the lead at a decent clip. CRUISE CONTROL (1) showed plenty of speed when winning last time. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from eight starts over this distance. Sure to be there at the business end. CLIFF TOP (2) resumes from a spell and returns to the Alan Greeff stable. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from seven starts over this course and distance. On best form shown should be fighting out the finish. SPEED MACHINE (3) fought on well for third last start over 1000m at this track, making it two placings in a row. Expected to run well again. JEWEL CAT (6) finished third over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on August 2. Rates well as an each-way chance.
