No impression when eighth of nine in a handicap three weeks ago here over 1m1f; good record with K De Melo, who is restored to the saddle here; has been eased in the weights; dropping in class and he should go close

Well beaten seventh of 11 in a handicap here (1m4f) over Christmas (had two of these rivals behind); no winning form at this trip and been generally quiet since successful in a stakes race at Turffontein Inside last February; handicapper has eased the burden; others more likely despite this looking a little easier than last time

Mirren should be on the shortlist but PACIFIC EXPRESS looks the one to back. Monsieur Chevelle is a course winner and warrants respect, and Nuclear Force is a major threat.
