Beaten 5l when fifth of 14 but didn't run badly at 20-1 in a maiden plate over this distance three months ago at Vaal Classic; in the mix based on him finishing third at Turffontein Inside three starts back

Big Dreamer

VITELLIUS is strongly fancied to prevail. He is running for just the second time with a few of his rivals looking more exposed. Gimme A Diamond, Stepping Out and Lord Nelson have a chance although they aren't easy to fancy based on what they did last time out.
