Fascinating Class 4 event. Highly regarded 3-year-olds GALLIC VICTOR and COCO'S HERO are destined for bigger and better things, and both Khaya Stables-owned colts should improve for the step up to this distance. It is worth noting the owner's retained rider, Craig Zackey, who rode both last-start wins, sticks with the Dean Kannemeyer-trained former. HEAL AND SOUL, KING'S QUEST and ARIOVISTUS are in good form so will make life difficult for their younger rivals. JOSHUA and ARBITRATION complete the shortlist.
