Couldn't land a blow when tenth of 16 over 7f at Vaal (stakes race) two weeks ago; likes it here (five wins); can be in the mix as should benefit from return to this trip and he was a winner three starts ago.

Not beaten too far when fourth here over 5f (handicap) 21 days ago; producing solid form figures; quite a while since he tasted success; hard enough to fancy in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Verdict

Greaterix is capable of running well, and Chyavana is on the shortlist. However, PISTOL PETE gets the vote. He has been a winner at this track and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip.
