EL CAPITAN will be looking to go one better after finishing runner-up in his last two starts. He seems to be getting better with racing and could see out the extra. FREDDY SLATER has been gelded and could bounce back to form. He has shown some potential and must be respected from gate one. Fillies CALL ME HARRIET and GLORIOUS BUTTERFLY have drawn well and look big threats on their recent performances on turf. CITY LIGHTS is having her 28th try but has run some fair races on the Highveld and would be deserving. THE WOLF could be anything over this track and trip.
