The much awaited 'Big Cap' is here with many a top-class athlete vying for a piece of the R5M stake. Justin Snaith holds a strong hand with all four runners. RANDOLPH HEARST was third in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas and finished ahead of ROLAND GARROS but the latter may be better over 1400m and jumps from the best of the draws. It can get close. Snaith's top older horse, GREAT PLAINS, is a 1400m specialist and having drawn well could score after a rest. TALK TO THE MASTER has been hard to catch and looks well weighted. Consider MALMESBURY MISSILE, TINTIN and gelded VAPOUR TRAIL.
