Plenty of pace on show, headed by Wiccan Warrior, Elizabedi Gold and Maphaka. RIVERSTONE (8) was unlucky not to have won his last start over this course and distance as he had no clear passage in the run down to the line. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. With a bit of luck in the running, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. LICENCE TO THRILL (6) stayed on when sixth over this course and distance. His penultimate run when third catches the eye. If finding the form of that race, he should pose a threat. KHETHIWE'S DESTINY (2) returns from a spell. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which may do the trick. She won her only attempt over this course and distance and may find a form return. GOOD TRAVELLER (1) ran a good race when second over this distance on the polytrack last time. He runs well for Rachel Venniker and should be right there at the finish.
