ESCAPOLOGIST may not have enjoyed a slow pace last time but she didn't disgrace herself. She could return to winning ways as she is best weighted again. It is amazing that CONTINENTALEXPRESS is still a one-time winner but returns to a track that suits. He has run some decent races in marathons locally but may not have been at his best when racing in the Western Cape. THE MIKADO is another that lost form. He too has shown stamina and he could come on nicely in his second run after a rest. BASIE RAAKVAT should be right there too.
