DAVE THE KING (3) finished off last campaign with a sixth over 7f at Turffontein Standside on November 30 and has since switched yards. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from six runs. Sure to run well. PACAYA (5) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing seventh over 1m2f in the G1 The Met at Kenilworth four months ago. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. ROYAL VICTORY (8) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1m2f in the G1 Champions Challenge at Turffontein Standside. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. RAPIDASH (4) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m3/4f at this track. Key player.
