Beaten a long way in a juvenile plate when splitting two of these rivals upped to this trip at Turffontein 47 days ago; she takes on the boys here; others more appealing.

Verdict

Golden Warrior needs to be considered, and Fire Starter made a likeable debut. However, CHRONICLE KING is a firm choice. He made an encouraging debut and can step up from his initial second.
