Lots of speed predominantly from Riverstone, Got The Word and Khethiwe's Destiny. KHETHIWE'S DESTINY (2) produced an encouraging resuming run over this distance at Greyville last start when staying on strongly to finish fourth of seven. She won her only previous attempt over this course and distance. She will strip much fitter and can return to winning form. BOURBON WARRIOR (3) ran a fair race when finishing fifth of seven in a tougher line-up last start. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Jumps from an inside draw and rates well as a main danger. AGRADO (4) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over 1000m on this course. Has the services of Rachel Venniker who takes the 1.5kgs off his back. He should enjoy the extra 200m on offer today and can repeat the dose. RIVERSTONE (5) has fair recent form lines to his name. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from five starts over this distance. Resumes from a spell and having placed previously when produced fresh-up has top-three claims.
