Strong tempo with Komati River, Lost For Words and Vamanos leading the charge. CAPTAIN SELVIE (3) is a progressive filly who won last two before a break. Returns in tougher grade but has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work. UNITED OFFER (5) finished first campaign with a solid run in stakes class. Won only try course and distance and expected to go close. SEASON'S GREETINGS (9) continues to race well. Has fitness and best form this course and distance. Worth following up. RUSSIAN NOBILITY (10) resumed last start over 1000m and finished second at this track, 0.8 lengths from the winner. Scored at only try at this trip and best figures too dangerous to ignore.
