The weights in this Grade 3 event favour older horses MAGIC VERSE and RASCALLION, class-droppers who ran in the Grade 1 WSB Cape Town Met last time out. Both should be competitive in these calmer waters, though preference is for the hard-knocking latter whose form includes a victory in this race last year. Consistent 3yo geldings GARRIX and LET IT BE SAID receive 9kg from the selection and are open to improvement. Progressive last-start winner GALLIC DREAM, familiar foe PROMETTERE (unlucky last time), BILLY BOWLEGS and THE GREY KING also have the means to make their presence felt. Good race!
