Dave The King to set a strong tempo booting up inside Eight On Eighteen and Jan Van Goyen. JAN VAN GOYEN (2) looks the one to beat again. Exciting colt unbeaten in Grade 1 company including the Cape Guineas last time. Looks the measuring stick. EIGHT ON EIGHTEEN (7) has a top record at Grade 1 level and yet to miss the frame in eight tries here including four wins. Go close. SEE IT AGAIN (10) stormed home to just miss fresh in Grade 2 company and more than competitive this level including two wins. Among the leading chances and can turn the tables on DAVE THE KING (1), who beat him narrowly in the Green Point Stakes last time. Already a three-time winner at the top level. Goes very well here and will take catching.
