Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Bereave, Gem King and Mufasa leading the charge. MEU CAPITANO (6) is a winner of his last three runs. He ran home strongly when winning last start over 1200m at this track to make it three wins from four runs this time in. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be figuring in the finish. QUESTIONING (8) didn't do a bad job when finishing second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has the talent to return to winning form. FUTURE VARIETY (4) lines up for the first time since February 24. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Durbanville. Has to be respected. BEREAVE (1) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1200m contest at this track a month ago. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
