Slick pace with Circle Of Grace finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. CHABAL (1) is on the quick back-up after finishing fifth at Turffontein several days ago. Course and distance winner much better than last start and jumps from a low draw with the claim. Capable of a better run. ROMEO'S MAGIC (2) made headway last time. Has two wins this journey including once at the course and distance and looks a top chance. CARTAGENA (4) is much better than last run when pulled up with an issue. On her best form has the ability to take this out. COPPER PLATE (3) just missed last time. Drawn to be prominent and looks a leading hope.
