Best Odds
Split Itsnowornever and Circle Of Grace over 1m½f at Vaal (handicap) when beaten 7l (sixth of 14) two months ago; likes this track (all three career wins here) and potentially well treated; considered operating off a reduced mark.

Gained narrow success in a handicap two weeks ago; runs for only the second time in a handicap; easy to see him making an impression despite being up in class and the substantial hike in the weights seems fair.

Off the mark at the second time of asking here over 1m (maiden juvenile plate) in June, scoring by just over 2l; others are preferred despite the last time out success.

Towards the rear of 13 upped to 1m4f (Vaal) last Thursday in a stakes race; this looks a decent race so looks an unlikely winner.

Verdict
SPIRIT OF GABZ is hard to get away from. He can defy a hike in the weights and is a two-time course winner. American Rebel warrants respect although a big hike in the weights tempers enthusiasm.
