Pace a scorcher, headed by Prime Venture, Dubbelosix and Repetition, closely followed by Petteia and Baton Rouge. DUBBELOSIX (4) stayed on well when fourth over this distance at Durbanville last time out. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. He is in a good space and he may be the one to beat. REPETITION (2) was reported to be not striding out over 2200m last time. His two starts prior to that effort were encouraging. He jumps from a good draw of two and should prove hard to beat. PRIME VENTURE (3) is better than his last start as he took an awkward stride leaving the start. Worth another chance. BATON ROUGE (6) has shown some signs of a form return in his last two starts. He gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Brevan Plaatjies which will assist his cause. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
