ARIOVISTUS was outrun late over 1800m on his Highveld introduction (stable debut) and won't need to improve much off a 4-point higher mark to go one better from stall gate No 1. EXPRESS YOURSELF, ROYAL ENGAGEMENT and WE ARE THE LOGANS have a bit to find on that form but will likely threaten the selection on better weight terms. Consistent hard-knockers KUDZU, DECEPTION PASS and STORM AHEAD have the means to get involved, while veteran CARNELO remains competitive under a penalty after a last-start victory at this course over 1800m.
