Strong tempo assured from Dantonfromsandton and Mastership leading the charge. DYLAN'S CHAMP (9) is in sparkling form, not only winning the last two but posting some good numbers in strong form races. Hard to knock and expected to go close again. Same goes for PALACE PRINCE (6) who is flying as well, winning two of the last three including a big win last time from an outside draw. Better gate here and drops in weight. Can measure up again. MASTER CHRISTMAS (3) is better than last start. Goes well over this course and distance and looks one of the chief contenders. MASTERSHIP (4) is a win chance on best form. Goes very well here and is worth keeping safe.
