Going: Standard
Surface: AW
Lay-off. Kicked off the campaign with a 15th on turf at Scottsville over 6f, beaten 10 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal. WILLOW EXPRESS (2) had been racing okay but he was safely held last time out when ninth over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Expecting a bold showing. VILA VICOSA (5) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 1m1 1/2f at Greyville. Winning rider Mathew Thackeray sticks. One of the main contenders. RODRIGUEZ (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 7f at this track after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
