Can be a player at this level; not beaten that far in a conditions race last month; ought to be competitive if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and there is potential to save ground from stall three.

Solid effort when beaten just under 3l to finish fourth over 6f here (handicap) last month; specialist here with four wins; Richard Fourie a good booking; if he can build on his latest effort then one to watch out for.

Admirably consistent; fair effort (beaten just under 3l) over 6f here (handicap) last month; has to be respected as shown she can win fairly recently and breaking from ground-saving draw.

Verdict

A tricky puzzle to solve - C&D winners Speed Racer, Cape Capri and Icy Lancaster are respected while Speed Racer has a good draw and is shortlisted. However, MASKED VIGILANTE is preferred. He is pretty solid on the strength of his latest effort and has won four times at this venue previously.
