Mystique Rouge to set a strong early tempo booting up inside Mount Meru and Attaboy. JAZZ FESTIVAL (5) ran on from last when having to overcome the widest draw over this course and distance last time. Richard Fourie rides from a handy draw of five and he may be able to get the best out of him when it matters most. POLITICAL PARTY (9) has shown good improvement in his last two starts. He has won once, finished second three times and third once from nine starts over this distance. With luck in the running he should prove be competitive. PONGOLA (10) ran a good race when third in his last start over this course and distance. He takes a slight drop-in class and will be right there at the finish. SHOTGUN WILLIE (7) ran on well when winning his last start over this distance at Greyville. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
