A competitive looking race. GRIPEN has not been beaten far in his last two starts in the Western Cape and that form may hold up in this race. EL CAPITAN is not well drawn but is improving and should contest the finish. WHITE SEAHORSE is in good form and should be involved with the finish again. KING CELTILLUS is improving with each start but may need further to be seen at his very best. GREEN MILE is consistent and could do better now that blinkers have been reached for. O SPACE O and IRISH ANTHEM are two others that can improve.
