SETTLERS TROPHY 2000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 20) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a solid tempo from the get-go with several of these capable of pushing on early. RAPIDASH (3) got up where it matters most when winning his last start over 1800m on this course. Grant van Niekerk retains the ride and from barrier three he may find himself in the winner's enclosure once again. PONTE PIETRA (5) ran a good race when third of 15 over 3200m last start. He is suited to this course and must be included in all bets. CALL TO UNITE (6) won a good race in his last start over 1800m on this course. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from five starts on this course. Solid top-three prospects. PAS DE NOM (2) is coming off a win at this track and down 4kg from that last run can go on with it.
