Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Sundance Kid, Sequoia and Magma Magic leading the charge. QUEUE WING (2) was touched off in his last start over 1800m on the turf. He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts over this course and distance. The 4kg claiming apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto retains the ride, and he can notch up his eighth-career victory. SUNDANCE KID (4) is better than his last start run on the turf would suggest. He has won three times and finished third once from five starts over this course and distance. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should pose a threat. FEW DOLLARS MORE (7) has cost himself in his last two starts as he has hung over the closing stages. He will strip a much fitter horse and if Cole Dicken is able to keep him on a straight line, he can return to winning form. MASTER FUEGO (3) finished 10th when resuming over 1500m last start at Scottsville. Has never missed the frame second up. Has solid each-way claims.
