Plenty of speed with Blaze A Way, Longsword and Prince Of Kildare leading Dylan's Champ and Palace Revolt. VIBE SA (5) was running on well when fifth over this distance at Greyville last time. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. He is having his peak run today and can notch up his third-career victory. KING OF NUMBERS (8) has good recent form lines to his credit. He raced from a handy position last time and tried hard all the way to the line. He drops back in distance which should not pose an issue. He is in a good space and must be included in exotic bets. PRINCE OF KILDARE (16) stayed on well when fourth of 12 over 1000m on the Classic course last time. S'manga Khumalo is in the saddle and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. PAUL REVERE (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third over 1400m. Racing well and has to be respected.
