Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. KHETHIWE'S DESTINY (2) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1200m at Greyville. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. AGRADO (4) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.1 lengths over 1000m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. RIVERSTONE (5) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1100m at Kenilworth. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Looks a strong top-three prospect. BOURBON WARRIOR (3) is a talented gelding who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1400m in the G3 The Byerley Turk at Greyville. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the better hopes.
