Plenty of speed from Rondebosch and Bjorn Ironside. ONE FINE WINTER (4) was Grade 1 placed last two runs before a spell. Classy galloper yet to miss the frame in six starts including two wins. Goes very well here and expected to go close. YIPPEE KIYAY (2) wound up strongly to score a determined win last time. First try here but unbeaten at the trip and expected to go close again. BJORN IRONSIDE (1) finished third last start over 1000m at Vaal when he did his best work late, beaten 4 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. KING HARALD (5) was thereabouts last start and expected to give a sight.
