The speedy trio Dontshootthebarman, Nkandla Gold and On Cue can set the pace from the outset. TCHAIKOVSKY (4) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over this distance. He has won four times, finished second twice and third once from 13 starts over this distance. He takes a drop in class and he can follow up with another victory. NKANDLA GOLD (2) ran a better race last start when finishing a close-up third over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DONTSHOOTTHEBARMAN (1) was given a perfect ride when winning his last start over this course and distance. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. ON CUE (3) has decent recent form lines to her credit. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth in her last run has come out and won since. She has won once, finished second once and third three times from nine starts over this course and distance. She should give the males a decent run for their money.
