Ahead of King Pelles and Baratheon when fourth (beaten just under 4l) over 1m at Greyville (stakes race) 28 days ago; last two efforts in this headgear not so encouraging and not the most consistent of horses lately; others more persuasive.

Not able to make an impression when sixth despite 7-5 odds over 7f at Turffontein (stakes race) in November; possesses winning form at this track; has chalked up three wins from his last five; has had some time off; can be in the mix; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he won the Champions Cup recently.

Verdict

Dave The King might have a say while Royal Victory has been knocking on the door of late. But PACAYA looks the one to back. He has shown in the past that he is able to get the job done and his last run caught the eye.
