Plenty of pace with Winter Pirate and Volegov up front, pressured by Lyrical Gangster and Trois Sept Huit. WINTER PIRATE (3) was impressive last time at Durbanville, scoring by 2.75 lengths over this trip. Progressive colt off the mark with a big win latest. Placed both tries here and should be going close again. TROIS SEPT HUIT (4) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. LYRICAL GANGSTER (6) finished second last start over 1000m at this track, beaten a head. Just missed here latest. Aided by the big claim and should be right in the finish. PALACE GIFT (2) was close to the winner fresh and has won second-up. Expect a forward showing.
