Big field with a lot of pace engaged so expecting a strong tempo. KAIBOY (7) showed good speed over this course and distance last time before getting outrun late. His last victory came under Aldo Domeyer. He looks well placed and can notch up his fourth-career victory. NORDIC CHIEF (8) won a good race over 1000m at Durbanville last time. Can repeat the dose. FIRST MASTERPIECE (2) has good recent form lines to her credit. She has won three times and finished second once from five starts over this course and distance. She should give the males a run for their money. DUMBLEDORE (4) bounced back to winning form last start after being in the firing line on the turn as the favourite over 1250m at Durbanville. No reason he cannot salute again. ARCTIC WIZARD (9) had been racing consistently with two placings on end prior to finishing fourth most recently over 1000m at Durbanville. Back to the track at which he finished third two runs back. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including two wins. Winning claims on best figures.
