Could not manage better than tenth (Vaal) 16 days ago in a stakes race; five wins from 15 here; should give it a bold bid as reverting to this trip sure to suit and he was successful three starts back.

Not beaten too far when fourth here over 5f (handicap) 21 days ago; often been there or thereabouts lately; a long time since his last win; this line-up contains some strong opposition so looks an unlikely winner.

No real encouragement to be gleaned after finishing tenth at Greyville three months ago in a Listed handicap race; managed four wins in his last seven outings; this only his second start in handicap company; big player now dropping in class and he has won in classy company before.

Verdict

Greaterix is capable of getting involved while Chyavana may give the others plenty to think about. But PISTOL PETE gets a firm vote. He has been a winner at this track and is of interest if excusing his most recent run.
