Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-18) but hasn't really fired since his success in a stakes race at Greyville last May; not beaten too far when fifth at Greyville in a handicap splitting Donquerari, No Filter and Captain Bombshell three weeks ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has a lot on his plate here.

Verdict

WILLIAM ROBERTSON is hard to look beyond. He didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since) and can enhance a cracking course record (three wins). Khethiwe's Destiny has to rate a danger given her excellent course record.
