A strong tempo is assured with Flight Engineer and Desert Cloud leading the charge. KLEINZEE (3) finished seventh two runs back at Durbanville then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1600m at this track. That was first run on the all weather and was a determined winner. Further improved and can go back to back. RHYDIAN (2) returns after a spell of three months. First run for new yard and has placed 3/3 fresh. Can get the job done. DESERT CLOUD (1) was comfortably accounted for when second last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at Fairview at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLIGHT ENGINEER (7) rates highly and is among the main hopes with the light weight.
