Registered first success at the fifth time of asking when winning by just over 1l at Vaal last month in a maiden plate; definitely of interest with the ground-saving draw.

Frequent visitor to this track; grade looks suitable; respectable effort (beaten 2l) at Vaal two weeks ago; more than capable if on song so holds major claims.

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) at Greyville in May; failed to make much of an impact in handicaps recently and hasn't really fired since her success in a maiden plate at Greyville in March; returns from a layoff here; this looks a decent race so others make more appeal.

Verdict

C&D winner Twice As Wild is respected, and Just Var is an interesting contender from the ideal draw. However, PACIFIC is the pick of these. He will find this distance to his liking and he knows how to win.
