SHOOT THE RAPIDS and POETS WARRIOR are proven with unbeaten course-and-distance records, and both should remain competitive. The former has a enjoyed an ideal prep and was a wide-margin winner over track and trip when last seen on the Highveld, while the latter should strip fitter after a much-needed comeback. However, conceding weight (6kg and 4kg respectively) to maturing younger rival ENFLAME may prove a bridge too far, with this extended trip likely to unlock further improvement from the last-start 2850m Listed winner. Veteran NEBRAAS consistent ALADDIN'S LAMP complete the shortlist.
