Looking to Field Marshal, Holding Thumbs and Cape Eagle as likely leaders in a solid speed battle. FUTURE SWING (8) finished second last start in what was his second run this prep. Richard Fourie is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and he can return to winning form. Worth noting that he has won third-up previously. FIELD MARSHAL (5) won a good race last time. He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. CAPE EAGLE (2) is better than his last start run would suggest. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. Serino Moodley steps back into the saddle and he can finish in the placings. HOLDING THUMBS (6) finished fourth last start after being in contention on the turn over 2400m at Greyville, an improvement on his 12th at Greyville the run before. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the leading chances.
