Close up behind Poets Warrior when fourth at Turffontein last month in a stakes race; has gained all his wins at a lower level and hasn't won for a while; this demands more than last time so looks opposable.

Third here when 2-1 (dropped back to 1m4f) in a Grade 3 last month; has won here; producing solid form figures; Craig Zackey a good booking; can be in the thick of things.

Verdict
POETS WARRIOR looks the one to back. He is a leading player bidding to get back to winning ways and is taken to confirm the placings after finishing ahead of Taxhaven latest. Ahead Of The Facts is respected while Shoot The Rapids rates a serious contender, and the otherwise interesting Vihaan's Bomb has a stamina query to answer at this trip.
