A competitive race. RONDEBOSCH is best weighted for this race but that is courtesy of his apprentice allowance. He has ability but has not really shown of late. Stable companion BANFF returns from a lengthy break but could win if fit enough. LEAD THE CHARGE is usually not too far behind the winner and could play a minor role. ALPINE JET remains in good form and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. CAROLINE ISLAND is consistent and not out of it. KAALVOET is in good form and is also not out of it.
