NAVAJO NATION has benefitted from the removal of blinkers and showed as much when outrunning market expectations to finish 2nd in a Cape Town Grade 3 last time, and a repeat of that performance (with a tongue-tie fitted) should suffice. ALADDIN'S LAMP is closely matched on recent form and will likely make his presence felt on 1kg better terms. Veteran NEBRAAS, consistent UNITED COUNCIL and rejuvenated BATTLEGROUND have the form and experience at this level to play leading roles. ROYAL INVITATION and ENFLAME are bidding for a hat-trick so shouldn't be taken lightly. GIMMEACHOICE could surprise.
