Track: Soft   Clear (Max: 25)    

Solid tempo with Kadizora, Saxon Dynasty and Fire Force going hard, closely attended by Wave Warrior. KADIZORA (2) should have finished closer to the winner last time as the saddle was reported to have slipped in running. She receives her sex allowance in this contest and jumps from a good draw of two. Muzi Yeni retains the ride, and she can notch up her second-career victory. WAVE WARRIOR (6) won a game race in his last start over 1800m on the polytrack. He returns from a well-deserved spell. Apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto takes the 4kgs off his back, which will assist his cause. If not in need of the run, he should fight out the finish. BASIE RAAKVAT (5) ran on from far back when third over 1800m last time. He has cracked a much better draw this afternoon, and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can return to winning ways. KING BAVARIAN (8) finished not far behind the third choice last time. He is 1.5kg worse off at the weights and may have to settle for the same result. Include in all combinations.
