Strong pace with The Brief, Terminator and Go Grayson Go pushing forward, closely attended by Jp's Palace and Bristol Hercules. GO GRAYSON GO (11) was far from disgraced when third last time. He has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. Rachel Venniker is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the wide draw, and he may be hard to peg back. TOBACCONIST (3) rallied late when second over this distance at Greyville last time out. He meets a similar field and from his good draw of three, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. UZWANO (5) scored by a neck last start at Greyville All Weather over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip and a bold showing is expected. BRISTOL HERCULES (6) finished second over 1600m at Greyville All Weather at his most recent appearance. He resumes from a spell and having placed previously when produced fresh-up has each-way claims.
